That's what I did not. I uninstalled the thunderbird package completely 
and used Mozilla's build with auto update until Arch finally gets the 
needed security updates shipped.

If there is a small percentage of Arch users which has issues with GPG, 
maybe it would be better to ship TB 78 and this small percentage of 
users uses Mozilla builds until the pending bugs are fixed? This would 
provide a more secure environment for the Arch userbase...
