When I've spoken with Sukhbir he mentioned that he doesn't think there's enough
torbirdy tasks remaining to fill a summer. We can add this back in if he
changes his mind.

-        href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776397">submitted a
1342
-        patch to Thunderbird</a> but we anticipate there will be much more work
1343
-        required before it is accepted, possibly involving rewriting the entire
1344
-        patch; this appears trivial, but it is not, as we are proposing a
1345
-        completely new privacy-safe message-ID header generation algorithm for
1346
-        Thunderbird.
