 Replying to [comment:3 ioerror]:
 > TorBirdy is not a controller and will never be a controller, I hope.

 Of course. I think it's best that TorController be its own addon
 independent from either Torbutton or TorBirdy. In an ideal world, it would
 the ability to run in either Thunderbird, Firefox, or even both at the
 same time for a single Tor instance.

 I'm just saying that if we hired an additional extension developer,
 there's a whole lot of stuff for them to do aside from just the
 TorController..
