 Saying that users ''need'' an address ending in `@riseup.net`,
 `@gmail.com`, or `@yahoo.com` is bit more of an untruth than saying that
 they need to use one of those providers, because
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/parse/addr.py#l214
 BridgeDB will canonicalise the sender's address] on an incoming email and
 it is [https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/bridges/bridgedb-
 admin.git/blob/HEAD:/etc/bridgedb.conf#l304 currently configured to accept
 alternate domains] (i.e. `@googlemail.com`).

 Is it not possible to do URL links within a XUL `<!ENTITY>`? Because then
 we could say `Riseup` with a link to https://mail.riseup.net, etc., as
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/templates/base.html#l69
 how BridgeDB]
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/strings.py#l81
 does it].
