Comment (by yawning):

 Oh whoops.  I misread the ticket and thought this was the thunderbird
 thing.  Well, at least there's bundles, so this is possible.

 My point about "the code makes assumptions that it's Tor Browser" still
 holds in a lot of places.  The actual sandboxing code is fairly abstract
 but none of the install/update/UI stuff is, and doing all of that is
 tedious and time consuming.

 If I were to attempt such a thing (and I probably won't due to lack of
 time/funding), I'd probably fork the code and produce `sandboxed-tor-
 messeger` at first and then try to merge the two.
