Sorry, we should have sent you a heads up earlier!

I’ve pushed in initial draft in commit 421e15dd6d, so at the very least the doc in 4.1 does not claim we ship Torbirdy while we don’t, even if you don’t have time to work on this by Monday.
Feel free to revert my commit and restart from scratch if that’s easier for you :)

No problem! It’s good that I’m not always overworked :)

I pushed some more stuff in feature/17219-replace-torbirdy.

Please review d30ed49525 more specifically as I might have gotten some technicalities wrong.

@cbrownstein: If you have the time before Monday you could have a look, but given the short deadline and the amount of content at stake, I’m happy with intrigeri’s technical review only.

Wow, thanks for the quick turnaround!

Looks good except:

  • I believe “Removes information about the language of your session” is incorrect (AFAIK, by default Thunderbird leaks only the spellchecker language).
  • unsecure or insecure?

Looks good to me.

The only change I’d make is unsecure → insecure.

Insecure is more common in this context.

I was thinking about the “reply_header_type”, like:

It’s not an email header in the technical sense of the term but it’s not
something that users write themselves either.

From config/chroot_local-includes/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird.cfg,
language might also be leaking in GnuPG’s default comment.

> * unsecure or insecure?

Oops, I didn’t pay attention to my spellchecker on this one. Fixed in
c24a970cea.
