Re: [tor-talk] Question about using Thunderbird + EnigMail/GnuPG

Hi,

Use TorBirdy -- Torbutton for Thunderbird [0]. Do read the installation
notes before using it [1].

From the 0.0.13 release notes [2]:

"It's still quite experimental - of course. Use at your own risk and
especially if you're using it with Enigmail and GnuPG without a local
HTTP proxy."

> Also, what about EnigMail and GnuPG?

[2]:

  TorBirdy now enforces the safest HTTP proxy usage possible with GnuPG
    TorBirdy attempts to disable all name resolution in GnuPG due to a
    serious SOCKS5 problem with GnuPG proxy options in how we invoke
    GnuPG; GnuPG only supports SOCKS5 when it is linked against libcurl
    (>7.21.7) and hostnames are not used. This is outlined the
    following bug:
