I'm trying to set thunderbird to use my physical PGP smartcard, after 
setting allow_external_gnupg in the advanced config panel and add my key 
in the End-To-End Encryption config, I still can't decrypt my encrypted 
emails.

After some searching on the internet, i found this discussion, so I 
rebuilt pinentry after gnome3 was installed and this works for me. I 
guess thunderbird need at lease one graphical pinentry instead only 
pinentry-curses and pinentry-tty.
