Note: TorBirdy doesn't support a toggle model. There has been an
attack vector against the old Torbutton in Firefox where one was able
to detect the presence of Torbutton while it was off (IIRC).

If TorBirdy aims for a per-email-account enable/disable option within
one Thunderbird Instance/Profile this is an issue. E.g. you can
determine with sufficient likelihood that someone has TorBirdy
installed while he sends email from an email account for which he
doesn't have torbirdy enabled.
But as of now Thunderbird doesn't support per-email-account proxy
settings - AFAIK.
