Hi Sukhbir,

Thanks for the quick reply and clarification.

Yeah I saw the SHA-512 based random message-ID insertion in your
Thunderbird+Tor paper.

Right, so start with fixing the preference setting system using
extension hooks instead of preference flags.
Then work with the new preference system on issues #6314, #6315.
Finally, verify stability across different MUA's,MTA's for the updated
patches, submit the patch request to #902573 & #902580 and work with
Mozilla for patch request acceptance.

Does this process flow sound reasonable ?
Should I give a more elaborate write-up on the it for you to proof-read
or should I just give you the final project proposal for proof-reading ?

The only prior experience I have with extension development was on Gnome
and it was minimal. But I've started reading up on extension development
in Thunderbird and the Torbirdy code.
Should be able to run by you a more detailed project proposal soon.

Thanks
D
