Thunderbird allows you to use GnuPG for private key operations if you 
can’t/don’t want to import your private key into Thunderbird. This is a 
feature lot of us need, because if you use a smartcard-like hardware 
solution (Yubikey, Nitrokey, any PGP smartcard…) that’s the only 
solution (since you cannot import your private key into Thunderbird). 
Thunderbird calls this the “external GnuPG feature”:
