Hi all, (I have subscribed myself as a member of the list now.)
I am interested in sending e-mails over the Tor network and I stumbled upon the following website: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/torbirdy After reading the webpage, I installed the extension Birdy in my already installed Thunderbird. I believe that sending e-mails over the Tor network is not working for me, because when Thunderbird restarted after the installation of the extension "Birdy", no "Tor Network Settings" dialogue was showed. The video on *https://people.torproject.org/~sukhbir/torbirdy-bundle.ogv */does/ show such dialogue. To add to that, the emails I receive are not in plain text, and it should be showed in plain text due to security reasons as you described on the site. So, I checked the troubleshooting section,"https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/torbirdy#Troubleshooting";, and it mentions this: /"//Make sure Tor is running and listening on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 9150. "/ I had already installed the Tor Browser Bundle, but it is still not clear what you mean by "running Tor". Do you mean, and for the record, I work on a Linux machine, to go to the command console and execute the command 'start-tor-browser' in the Tor directory? (Data/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/) Or are you talking about a service that needs to run in the background? And if so, how does I run such a service, and could this information be added on the Birdy site?
