Following update, mail accounts not using encryption by default seem to require new PGP key creation

Hi, I just upgraded to 78.7.1 and find myself unable to save unencrypted mail drafts on mail accounts which do not use encryption by default. Creating a new PGP key for each account seems to resolve the problem, but it is weird having to create keys for accounts which will not use them. I hardly ever used encryption before, and this issue appears linked with an old expired key which every account is trying to use: the response to 'Save' is "Error while saving draft - The key XXX has expired." How can I stop an account searching for a key when it should not need one? Advice on this would be much appreciated - End User.

expired key either have to be updated, or you have to change the account setting not to sign or encrypt mail.

Matt, to further explain what I see: - The mail account for which I just created a new key has the options either of using it, or 'OpenPGP / None' under End-To-End Encryption. - But for the other mail accounts, where I don't want encryption, I see "Thunderbird doesn't have a personal OpenPGP key for xxx@yy", nothing else. And it is for these that I would need the option OpenPGP / None.

Never mind, I can generate a key for each account and then use the OpenPGP/None option. Thank you very much for your reply.
