  I know of people who still read their mail using /bin/mail.  Like I said,
people get very attached to their email clients.  Telling them they should
"upgrade anyway" is (1) often not a fun prospect and (2) not very
considerate of the user.

  Again, I was not trying to argue anyone out of using SSL; I was just
pointing out options.  If it works for you, by all means, go for it.
