Torbirdy shouldn't allow clearnet connections on startup if started in Transparent Torification mode
Here's the situation: Alice uses Torbirdy in "Transparent Torification" mode to check her email on her laptop with her Tor router at home. She later takes her laptop to an internet cafe and checks her email there. As soon as she opens Thunderbird, a connection is made in the clear to her email provider before she has a chance to change Torbirdy's settings to "Use Tor Onion Router". This is an identity leak, and Torbirdy should prevent this possibility.
