Comment:

 Enigmail is supported in 0.0.13
 ([https://github.com/ioerror/torbirdy/blob/master/chrome/content/preferences.js#L36
 source code]), it's just that the traffic is fail-closed for now. I will
 update the documentation to better reflect what it meant. We have no plans
 to drop Enigmail support, we are most probably going to ship TorBirdy with
 `shim` so that HTTP traffic is routed through SOCKS and there are no
 leaks.
