Yeah. We assume you have some way around your firewall (e.g. open proxies,
friends, etc) but it's inconvenient and you don't want to use it all

(We're looking into setting up a gmail autoresponder -- apparently gmail
messages can be 20 megabytes. Handy.)

Is that also true for Tor 0.2.0.23-rc?

If so, can you describe your firewall in more detail for us?
