Yep, there are other ways that enigmail and thunderbird produce messages
with identifying characteristics, and some of those ways can be cleaned
up or standardized to make the messages fall into a larger "anonymity
set" by choosing particular configuration choices. See the paper i
referenced to see some of the mechanisms to do that.
So fixing the identifiable MIME boundaries is a necessary but not
sufficient step toward achieving the goals the Tor devs are aiming for.
If there are no downsides to making the change, it would be good to
take the step even if it doesn't solve all the problems.
Thanks for your consideration of this, Patrick, and for your prompt
response.
