[tor-talk] Question about using Thunderbird + EnigMail/GnuPG

[Anthony Papillion]

Hello Everyone,

A friend of mine recently read something (I don't know what) that made him think that there were some issue using Thunderbird with Tor that might compromise your anonymity. I told him I thought it was probably a configuration issue that could result in DNS leaking if not properly configured.

Is Thunderbird safe to use with Tor?

Also, what about EnigMail and GnuPG? I read something that said there could be some compromising issues using these with Tor as well. Is this true? What is the recommended workaround? Encrypt outside of email then copy/paste?

Thanks!
Anthony
