Re: [evolution-patches] bug 345135 proposed patch

Aha! This will probably make many people happy...

are there SSL_V3_COMPATIBLE_HELLO and TLS_COMPATIBLE_HELLO flags as
well?

I had no idea there was such a flag for handshaking... I thought it was
all handled by SSL_ENABLE_SSL[2,3] flags. No wonder people have had
problems...
