AFAIR Mailvelope can do OpenPGP/MIME 
(if the webmailer it is used with offers some features).

Did you know: you can use GnuPG with Mailvelope, if you want (e.g. for 
smartcards or higher security needs)

To me the protected headers implementation Thunderbird is a step back,
as it leads to unnecessary data leaks (subject and cc) to other clients
with are OpenPGP/MIME compatible. And it reduces the usability for emails
in many cases (see my email thread about it).

It is possible to disable (they added this later), but it is an expert option 
and the default is still on (see drawbacks mentioned above).
