The main idea of pEp is to provide message security without bothering
the user as much as possible. User should not need to deal with key
management and should not need to care to enable encryption manually.

If you want to know what pEp is, then read the following:
https://www.pep.security/en/faq/

Enigmail 2.0 and 2.1 contains a pEp Junior Mode. In this mode, Enigmail
uses the pEp engine for crypto-operations, and the user interface is
reduced to a very small set of security indicators and dialogs.

As Enigmail will not support TB 78, the pEp developers decided to create
their own add-on from scratch. The add-on is the quasi-continuation of
the pEp Junior Mode. Those who use Enigmail in the pEp Junior Mode are
offered to move to that new pEp for Thunderbird addon instead of being
migrated to OpenPGP in Thunderbird.
