Comment:

 Nice! I think we should ask antonela to look over this as well. I like the
 changes. Some comments:

 - The idea to provide bridges on failure is really nice. I like how you've
 structured that email.

 - Are we still handing out FTE or scramblesuit bridges? From what i
 remember, we removed default FTE bridges from Tor Browser awhile ago. I
 guess the same could be asked of obfs3. If we only care about handing out
 obfs4, there's some simplification that can be done with the instructions
 here.

 - Should we have more text explaining that you issue the commands by
 replying to or sending a new email?
