Attempting to use torsocks(1) for NNTP or IMAP could get tricky.
Fortunately, IO::Socket::Socks is packaged for on CentOS 7,
FreeBSD, and Debian, so it seems to be a reasonable way to
support NNTP and IMAP Tor onions.

--proxy= (shared with curl) is supported for one-off
command-line use, but imap.proxy and nntp.proxy are both
supported along with URL-matching variants with git 1.8.5 (or
git 2.26 for wildcard URL matching).

Only socks5h:// proxies are supported (the default with
IO::Socket::Socks), which is what Tor uses.  I doubt its worth
the effort (and potential for DNS request leaks) to support
prior versions of SOCKS in 2021.

Eric Wong (8):
  lei sucks: preserve utsname.machine, add "x86" where appropriate
  lei_curl: improve correctness of LD_PRELOAD check
  lei: kill old PIDs when dropping
  lei: ensure autoflush(1) is on STDERR
  net_reader: {nn,mic}_for: use prototypes for internal subs
  lei: IMAP .onion support via --proxy=s switch
  net_reader: Net::NNTP --proxy=socks5h:// support
  net_reader: support (imap|nntp).proxy in config file
