I did some more digging and we DID have a "Require TLS" option for a little while, but it didn't actually do anything. It was just an empty preference. faceprint committed it in revision 12731 and I removed it in revision 17324. If Gaim will connect without using TLS then it would be smart for us to add that preference back and have it actually do something. But I'd classify that as wishlist. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
