This may be a stupid question for which the answer is 'obvious' but I would like to know. >>Are you aware of TorBirdy? Yes. I had looked at it before. I was interested in knowing the answers to the above question if one 'manually' configures TB and Tor as I mentioned above. Also, if one wants to send HTML enabled e-mail then you cannot do that with TorBirdy. So, hence, I would still like to know the answers to my original questions.
