[tor-talk] Tor with other applications

Hi,

using old versions of TorBrowserBundle it was possible to edit the
configuration torrc to set the SocksPort to 9050. It was possible to use
Tor with Pidgin or Thunderbird+TorBirdy.

Now the settings are ignored because Vidalia enforced "SocksPort auto"
by command line argument.

Any idea how to use Thunderbird+TorBirdy or Pidgin with Tor for Windows
user. (Linux user may install Tor package and Vidalia and it works.)

Best regards
Karsten N.
