Use Thunderbird as the UI

1. set up https://bitmessage.org/wiki/API_Reference 2. https://github.com/Dokument/PyBitmessage-Daemon 3. http://github.com/Arceliar/bmwrapper 4. Create a .desktop file that runs a launch shell script 5. Create the launch script that runs a separate launch script for each of the three e.g.

#!/bin/sh
cd ~/PyBitmessage
./bm1.sh & ./bm2.sh & ./bm3.sh

6. Create each of the 3 launchers one to run each of the scripts with python2.7, for example the first of mine is:

python2.7 ~/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py

7. Ensure all the launchers have executable permission. This complicated procedure is required because each one is a daemon that doesn't return and won't run in the background using the ampersand.
