Comment (by Viggy_prabhu):

 Connecting to "check.torproject.org" on startup itself may be identity
 leak right if the user accesses it in clearnet connections. I think the
 right way is to just ask user if he/she wants to continue using
 "Transparent Torification" everytime Thunderbird starts. It seems annoying
 but dont think there is any other way out.
