Comment (by sukhbir):

 Updates:

 - Automatic fetching was not disabled and the value was hard coded. So we
 needed an overlay which I pushed in 0968621f.
 - HTML has also been disabled. The options are similar to the mailnews
 settings. See 174cd10.
 - JavaScript disabled: already doing it.
 - Proxy settings respected: yes.

 I think the only concern I have now is that clicking the "Website" (in the
 message pane) to get the complete article shows the Launch Application
 window using which a user may choose a browser that is not Tor Browser.
 Now we can do either of the following:

 - Disable the link so that a user has to manually copy it and doesn't
 inadvertently click on it
 - Warn the user but then show the Launch Application and let them decide.
 - Be smart and open in Tor Browser. (I am not sure if this one is easy).
