@Fridtjorf:

I agree, this is, probably, a security concern. But there are some
mitigations: RC4-128 is not that weak at all, and there are other
safeguards that can be deployed -- like encrypting the e-mail before
sending. What I am trying to say is this is not a critical issue, and
there is really no need to go fast here.

On the patch I proposed: it only deals with an e-d-s compiled against
libnss3, and does not address openSSL at all. So it is certainly not
complete. Also, as I stated earlier, I would rather have upstream look
at it, since I may very well have done something wrong (this is my first
patch against e-d-s, ever).
