An update on this:

New Enigmail users on Windows now again get version 1.0.8 of the p≡p
distribution since like 5pm CET (thanks, Patrick!), which is the initial
version of March 2018. It also works with recent software like TB60 and
gpg4win 3.1.3. Version 1.0.8 is far from optimal (has some bugs), but it
can be used. That got also confirmed by c't.

For notable differences between 1.0.8 and 1.0.23, check:

https://pep.foundation/blog/enigmailpep-version-1023-of-pep-distribution-for-enigmail-208-and-higher-is-live/index.html

You can check the fact that you have 1.0.8 by comparing the version
number in the version.json file here (example path):


C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\468zy2v.default\pepmda\

The files in the pepmda\ directory should be from March and match those:

If you want to force a downgrade from 1.0.23 (faulty Windows release,
available from September 26 until today) to 1.0.8, you can do the following:

* * *

1. Close Thunderbird.

2. Kill p≡p JSON Server Adapter, the p≡p service that interacts with
   Enigmail:

       killtask /f /im pep-json-server.exe

3. Delete the pepmda\ of your profile (see above).

4. Restart Thunderbird.

* * *

Additionally, a version 1.0.25 -- specifically for Windows -- is being
tested to replace the buggy 1.0.23 release.

If you want to help testing, just reach out: thanks!
