 Another way to find public bridge addresses is to send mail to 
 bridges at torproject.org with the line "get bridges" by itself in the body of the 
 mail. However, so we can make it harder for an attacker to learn lots of bridge 
-addresses, you must send this request from a gmail or yahoo account.

+ bridge 87.237.118.139:444 c18dde4804e8fcb48464341ca1375eb130453a39

+Bridge relays (or "bridges" for short) are Tor relays that aren't listed
+in the main directory. Since there is no complete public list of them,
+even if your ISP is filtering connections to all the known Tor relays,
+they probably won't be able to block all the bridges.
+
+To use the above lines, go to Vidalia's Network settings page, and click
+"My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network". Then add each bridge
+address one at a time.
+
+Configuring more than one bridge address will make your Tor connection
+more stable, in case some of the bridges become unreachable.
+
+Another way to find public bridge addresses is to visit
+https://bridges.torproject.org/. The answers you get from that page
+will change every few days, so check back periodically if you need more
+bridge addresses.
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+Once you've recived the email with bridge information, you can continue the Vidalia configuration steps outlined above.
