Hi!
I am interested in participating in Google's Summer of Code this year and implementing the Torbutton equivalent for Thunderbird [0].
I have been discussing the project with Mike Perry and we feel that it is possible to implement this. The first step was removing the hostname Thunderbird puts in the outgoing message header, which we easily fixed. That gave us the initial motivation to pursue this further.
There are a number of issue that still remain, however we feel that those can be easily worked out. We have put all probable solutions to Torbutton requirements from [1] in the attachment with this mail and are looking for your suggestions/ comments about this.
We have not submitted an application for this to Google yet; I intend to do that after gauging the response towards this proposal from the mailing list.
Let's hope that we can make this a success,
-- Thanks,
Sukhbir Singh
