The current branch is 1.9.1.  Please consider upgrading.  1.7.2 is very
old and is no longer supported.

This is unfortunately beyond our control.

When Thunderbird receives an email, it puts it into the email processing
pipeline.  Once all plugins are finished with the email the message gets
dropped in your inbox.  Thunderbird calls Enigmail and says, "here's a
new message, do your magic," and Enigmail does -- but Enigmail doesn't
get told if you currently have the email window open, if you're reading
news, whether you're away from the keyboard, or anything else.  We get
no context for how you're currently using Thunderbird, and for that
reason we can't make context-sensitive decisions like "should we try to
process this right now, or wait for later?"

This is a bug in 1.7.2.  I believe it was fixed some time ago.  I don't
have the problem in 1.9.1.

This is not possible with Thunderbird's current architecture.
