Spotlight indexing not working with Thunderbird

I run TB 57.0 as my daily driver and am trying TB 102 to see if I should migrate. 2012 Macbook Pro, Retina Display, with Catalina.

Both installations have "Allow Spotlight to Index" checked but Spotlight never indexes these messages. I send myself emails with random keywords and search with Spotlight after the messages are delivered. The keywords are never found.

If I run the native Mail.app on the same account, Spotlight finds the keywords almost instantly.

Thunderbird 57 has not been supported for years.

It doesn't work with TB102, either.
