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

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: https://github.com/ioerror/torbutton-birdy ###################################################### !!!!!

WARNING DO NOT USE FOR ANYTHING IMPORTANT !!!!!! ###################################################### ( 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 [-1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/EMail/Thunderbird/Thunderbird%2BTor.pdf [0] https://github.com/cryptodotis/mixgui [1] http://enigmail.mozdev.org/home/index.php.html
