 For what is the http to socks forwarder needed anyway? (privoxy)

 If I don't assume wrong, I think Firefox and Thunderbird's share a lot
 network related code. Firefox+TorButton do not require a http to socks
 forwarder. Why does Thunderbird+TorBirdy need one?

 You could reduce some complexity by sending everything over socks.

 Perhaps this would also help solving #6359: make use of stream isolation.
