Actually, besides the interface connection with 'sudo snap connect
thunderbird:gpg-keys', for now you will also need to execute this in a
terminal:
<<'EOF' cat >>$HOME/snap/thunderbird/common/gpg.wrapper
#!/bin/sh
HOME="$SNAP_REAL_HOME" $SNAP/usr/bin/gpg "$@"
EOF
chmod +x $HOME/snap/thunderbird/common/gpg.wrapper
Then, in Thunderbird, Settings > Config Editor, set
`mail.openpgp.alternative_gpg_path` to that path, namely
"/home/$USER/snap/thunderbird/common/gpg.wrapper" (without the quotes).
I'm of course looking for the best way to make this work out of the box.
