[guardian-dev] K9 + orbot

[cketti]

There's an open pull request to add support for a SOCKS proxy [0], at
least for sending and receiving mail. There are a couple of places where
SOCKS support is missing, most notably when downloading remote content
displayed in HTML messages. See [1].

Currently, we're focusing on getting PGP/MIME support in a usable state.
So SOCKS support might take a while. But I'm happy to answer questions
related to the K-9 Mail code base if anyone wants to volunteer.
