TorBirdy: Respect user preferences for header_type and message body type

Summary

Whenever Thunderbird restarts, TorBirdy resets the values for header_type and what type format to view emails, irrespective of user preference.

Description

Something I noticed quickly after using TorBirdy is that it changes two settings forcibly whenever Thunderbird starts. The two settings I always change back after Thunderbird restarts are:

  • View > Message Body As… > Original HTML: While I am aware there are potential security risks by enabling this, I prefer to view emails with the original HTML and subjectively choose to change this setting for a specific email as needed.
  • mailnews.reply_header_type: After restarting, the value is adjusted to 1 from the default, 2. I prefer to have the full reply header type when I reply to emails.

While I respect the reasons the TorBirdy developers have for changing these settings, it's annoying for me as the user to have my preferences overruled every time Thunderbird restarts, and then I have to go and change this manually every time it restarts.

Implementation

  1. Start Thunderbird
  2. User changes settings from default TorBirdy configuration, e.g. message body type and reply_header_type
  3. User closes Thunderbird
  4. User restarts Thunderbird, adjustments to settings preserved
