Emacs has built-in TLS support these days, so s_client is only used if the user (for some weird reason or other) has built or installed a version of Emacs without TLS support. I think that should probably be removed, because it's less secure than users would expect. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
