 "We dropped Enigmail support for now to be able to drop the HTTP proxy
 requirement." This is really sad.

 Alternative solution, perhaps as a stopgap:
  * Let Enigmail traffic fail closed.
  * Continue to support Engimail, just state that networking features do
 not work, known limitation.
  * Post correct instructions in
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/GnuPG
 TorifyHOWTO/GnuPG] article.
  * Suggest to use gpg command line (correctly torified) to use keyservers.
