the README.Debian for mutt says:
SSL
support
~~~~~~~~~~~
SSL support has been disabled because debian cannot legally distribute
binaries of a GPLed program like mutt linked with a library with a
four clauses BSD-style license like the one of OpenSSL.
If you want SSL support you'll have to install the libssl09-dev package
and recompile the package yourself after editing debian/rules.
No source changes are needed.
there are other *-ssl packages like apache ssl. why can't we have
mutt-ssl? is there any chance there will be mutt-ssl in the future?
what's the story?
thanks for any insight
