... or with TB settings, or with shell environment variables, ...

Enigmail related preferences (in ~/.thunderbird/profiles/<user>/prefs.js)
start wirh "user_pref("extensions.enigmail.". Make sure no GnuPG path is
set there and that Enigmail has the same envronment variables set as your
shell. It must include a PATH to your gpg binary, usually /usr/bin/gpg .
