-----------------------------+---------------------
 If Whonix is detected, could you prevent adding {{{--keyserver-options
 http-proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118}}} please?

 Since enigmail just calls {{{gpg}}}. And since everything is torified in
 Whonix anyway, and since {{{gpg}}} is stream isolated (by uwt wrapper)
 anyhow, there is no need for this setting in Whonix.

 As a result, using enigmail's keyserver features would work out of the box
 in Whonix.
