I have started to use openPGP in thunderbird (enigmail 1.4) for signing my messages
But it is generating something like 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

signed message by openpgp

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/

iQEcasdfasdfasdfasdf.....E
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If i am not mistaken sha1 is very old how to change for example to sha-3 and how to delete the line comment:....
Thank you !

You can access those properties through Thunderbird Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor… (Equivalent to about:config)

Then type extensions.enigmail.mimeHashAlgorithm The following values are available:

  • 0 - automatic selection, let GnuPG choose
  • 1 - SHA1
  • 2 - RIPEMD160
  • 3 - SHA256
  • 4 - SHA384
  • 5 - SHA512
  • 6 - SHA224

For the comment, you can go to OpenPGP > Preferences > Display Expert Settings > Advanced > uncheck "Add Enigmail comment in OpenPGP signature".

(Alternatively, from Config editor: extensions.enigmail.useDefaultComment.)

Many other settings are detailed here : https://www.enigmail.net/documentation/userprefs.php
