there is an FAQ response regarding Autocrypt support in Thunderbird:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-howto-and-faq#w_does-thunderbird-support-autocrypt

When viewing an email with a digital signature of a correspondent, the signature icon indicates what level of trust you have for the sender's key, details can be seen by clicking the icon.

Hello Kai.
It seems to me that TB doesn't really want encryption.
:'-/
Otherwise you could combine the best of both worlds: ALWAYS create a key automatically for each account, ALWAYS send it (in the header), BUT point out if it is not verified.
It's not that difficult to advance email encryption!
DeltaChat or Threema can do it too.

[1/2] Hi, let us jump in real quick:

Thunderbird wants to support end-to-end encryption, and implements it.

What Thunderbird doesn't offer is fully automatic opportunistic encryption, because there are various associated risks, and it can have undesirable consequences for users, such as no longer being able to access your email from webmail or other clients, or losing your email archive if you haven't taken care of private keys.
