 Torbirdy sets a set of new default values, actually to my understanding it
 even enforces them.

 This might be reasonable for most of the settings, however for other
 settings user might be interested to not follow TorBirdy's governance.

 Any example is mailnews.display.original_date, which ist set to to true.
 However, this has the effect that the date/time of a mail is not anymore
 displayed in the user's timezone.

 While this might be useful to hide details revealing the location of a
 user (I suspect this is enforced, because this date is later used in
 replies), it might not be preferable for all users, as people get a false
 intention, when they received a certain mail.

 So I would love if you could make the enforcement of (at least) that
 setting configurable, like '--throw-keyids' for enigmail.
