This is a new package which adds SSL/TLS support to smptmail.el, using openssl rather than gnutls. This is useful because gnutls uses process signalling for out-of-band communication, so doesn't work with NTEmacs, at least not in my hands. I've been using this with cygwin openssl (which is what Gnus IMAP support uses) and it seems to work fine.
As far as I can tell, it provides exactly the same level of security as the original gnutls support. Openssl is using the same TLS protocol. But I am not expert, so I could be wrong. Finally, this package is, and will remain, a hack. I have had to overwrite a function in smtpmail and the code has a race condition in the middle (which I may be able to fix at some point). I am posting this here, in case it's useful to anyone rather than as a testimony to the excellence of my coding skills.
