Comment:

 I've tested on current Debian sid and I confirm that the Torbirdy code I'm
 referring to here is a no-op: due to the Enigmail pref having been
 renamed, it won't forcibly enable protected headers, and the corresponding
 checkbox in the Torbirdy prefs has no effect. The attached (untested!)
 patch removes this code. Happy to test it before you review it, if you
 agree it's the best course of action. Setting status to "needs review",
 because next step is: the Torbirdy maintainers review my proposal.
