Grant,

For POP3, StartTLS (STLS) is already in place, albeit with an awkward
unintuitive configuration, because fetchmail 6.x lumps SSL protocol
selection together with wrapped vs. STARTTLS mode.

If you were to provide a clean patch for wrapped SSL or STARTTLS for
(E)SMTP, against the Git master branch, I would definitely look at it.
We would need to discuss how to select modes and protocols, though.  I
would rather not add to the proliferation of command line/rcfile options
if it can be helped.

I will not add features to the legacy_63 branch.

Cheers,
Matthias
