Thanks all, I had similar issues with enigmail using new GPG keys - my
peer has been using OpenPGP and eingmail recently refused to decrypt the
message for the reason of missing MDC protection, regardless of whether
using --ignore-mdc-errors or not.

As my personal workaround I have disabled the check in enigmail, but now
I will check these fixes.
