Hi, Me and alant has coordinated some testing and these are the tests that remain for Tails 0.13-rc1 (or tests that were done but has comments).

I can't understand why, but I can't see the expected "EHLO ..." packet in the dump. Please test again, someone. > # Whisperback > > * can a bug report e-mail be sent? > * is it correctly encrypted? Doesn't work. At least the error isn't displayed immediately. Perhaps this is just a temporary hidden service issue?
