We'd love to provide this and in fact, we'd be able to provide a safer Thunderbird for Tor usage as our patches would be included. The downside is that Tor usage is not the only thing that matters - updates of all kinds will need to be tracked and kept in line with upstream. It is a lot of effort to make TBB and to make a Thunderbird version, keeping it updated and so on - it would require a lot of thinking on our part. I think without Thandy, I fear that it would be a nightmare. Perhaps there is some way to adapt Mozilla's secure updating system to give users an upgrade path? I'm not sure. I welcome any thoughts on the subject... Ultimately, we like the idea - so hopefully we can find a way to do it without drowning ourselves in work on a fork of Thunderbird that isn't required. Ideally, we'd like upstream to merge everything - heck, even TorBirdy, and make it a simple option... :) All the best, Jacob _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
