[tor-talk] Towards a Torbutton for Thunderbird (torbutton-birdy)

[Jacob Appelbaum <jacob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A few Tor hackers (Sukhbir, tagnar, myself, etc) are working on a plugin
for Thunderbird that attempts to Torify it properly. The codename for
now is 'torbutton-birdy' and it is based largely on the seminal
analysis[-1] by tagnaq. Two core goals in addition to Torification is
the integration with MixGUI[0] and of course Enigmail[1].

At the moment the code is entirely un-reviewed and is not ready for real
use. If you'd like to test it, we'd very much appreciate it. We have not
uploaded the extension to Mozilla's addon site - I'm not sure we'll ever
do that as a result of data retention issues and other stuff.

Here's the code:

Here's the XPI to install:

( Please note that this is not a signed xpi as my gpg keys have recently
expired. I'm about to cross a border, so I'll not be making new keys for
a few days. )

All the best,
Jacob
