 If I set up an SMTP server in thunderbird to use STARTTLS, it works fine
 until I install torbirdy (0.2.3) at which point the setting is changed to
 SSL/TLS. If I manually change it back to STARTTLS it works fine, until I
 disable and re-enable torbirdy, which causes the server security setting
 to switch back to SSL/TLS again.
