 Another way to find public bridge addresses is to send mail to 
 bridges@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the line "get bridges" by itself in the body of the 
 mail. However, so we can make it harder for an attacker to learn lots of bridge 
-addresses, you must send this request from a gmail or yahoo account.

+Here are your bridge relays:

+ bridge 87.237.118.139:444 c18dde4804e8fcb48464341ca1375eb130453a39

+Bridge relays (or "bridges" for short) are Tor relays that aren't listed
+in the main directory. Since there is no complete public list of them,
+even if your ISP is filtering connections to all the known Tor relays,
+they probably won't be able to block all the bridges.
+
+To use the above lines, go to Vidalia's Network settings page, and click
+"My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network". Then add each bridge
+address one at a time.
+
+Configuring more than one bridge address will make your Tor connection
+more stable, in case some of the bridges become unreachable.
+
+Another way to find public bridge addresses is to visit
+https://bridges.torproject.org/. The answers you get from that page
+will change every few days, so check back periodically if you need more
+bridge addresses.
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+Once you've recived the email with bridge information, you can continue the Vidalia configuration steps outlined above.
