You're certainly part of our target userbase, although probably not of
the kind we want to optimize Tails for. However, the
live-additional-software.conf feature is meant to make you feel
welcome, so you can use Gnus, MH-E or whatever inside Tails :)

I've been doing this for years, and this does make a few rare
antispams unhappy, but I've found it affordable.

Ah, then maybe it could be worth looking at the paper that their work
is based on, maybe there's something about it in there:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-attachment/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/EMail/Thunderbird/Thunderbird%2BTor.pdf
And if there isn't, maybe take this to the Torbirdy developers?
Cheers,
