Hi isdtor,

I'm only replying briefly right now because I'm short on time tonight,
but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to respond to all my
requests.  I appreciate your effort and it's very helpful.

I believe this is the desired behavior - if the chain checks out, then
it should just accept the cert with no need to confirm anything.

I will take a closer look tomorrow, but honestly I find the behavior with
the expired imap.google.com in your cert filed very strange.  If I can't
figure anything out, I will revert the patch for the 1.8 release.

In that case, I'll reopen the ticket and add some of your information to
it, so we can debug some more, post-release.
