Enigmail is the extension for using OpenPGP [GnuPG] encryption for
Email.  The .exe File You were directed to was probably for GnuPG since
that is the Encryption Program that Enigmail is the frontend for.

Unless You desire the ability to Sign and/or Encrypt Emails to & from
folks then You really do not 'need' Enigmail.  You didn't mention which
O/S You are using so I cannot accurately point you to a good download Link.

OK, from examination of Your Header I see that You are using Thunderbird
3.0.1 on Windows.  Therefore I suggest You obtain GnuPG [if desired] from:

http://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html  [scroll mid-way down the page
to Binaries and click on the 'FTP' on the right edge]
