Regarding thunderbird, I would compare to what parabola does with icedove. I would say that it might take more time, but it's more benificial for Guix if for example a slightly modified version of firefox lts (45.1.x) could be packaged. This way torbrowser is just an inherit away. https://projects.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/icedove > -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on psyced.org / loupsycedyglgamf.onion
