Enigmail, for some time already, adds actions "Decrypt permanently (Enigmail)" / "Create decrypted copy (Enigmail)" to the Thunderbird "Tools>Message Filters" menu. It can be used to automatically decrypt the emails and write them to a separate directory. When archiving emails, I use those functions to strip OpenPGP (including signatures) off the emails and store them on a full disk encrypted drive (LUKS). "Email Archive" in the sense that I do not need it on a daily basis/on a online system or that there might have been keys used that are already expired and whose passphrases I did not use for many years and might have already forgotten etc. Every year or two I archive the old emails in that way.
