The problem will always exist as long as they are not maintained by the 
same people and thus on different release cycles.  The basic nightmare 
is: new release by mozilla, enigmail is broken until a new release of 
it.  Generally, this is fairly quick, but it is unreliable, and when 
time becomes important (say for security updates), you can see where 
this becomes a problem.

I would very much applaud and offer what assistance I can to an effort 
to get Enigmail integrated into Mozilla Thunderbird's source, as I think 
that is the ideal solution here.
