Although this doesn't fail, it still doesn't change the RC4-SHA that 
Courier/ESMTPD uses against Gmail. Look at the following email header:

Received: from mail.tnonline.net
         by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id pw1si236926lbb.136.1969.12.31.16.00.00
         (version=TLSv1.2 cipher=RC4-SHA bits=128/128);

Granted, TLSv1.2 is supposed to be safe against the published attacks, 
so it might be OK anyway.... Still would be nice to know why 
Courier/GnuTLS doesn't choose highest supported cipher?

Would the TLS_PRIORITY options work for IMAP (imapd-ssl) too? I have 
tried to use SECURE128/192 instead of NORMAL, but I can't connect at all 
then - with any client or openssl s_client.
