But this has no affect if other methods are advertised and used, correct? I
mean, this is just appending PLAIN to the list already there, and AFAIK MD5
takes precedence over PLAIN. Likewise, should probably kill the line that
says $opts{-mechanism} |= 'plain'; or something a little later on. I don't
recall right now, and I don't have source in front of me.
