[Alpine-info] subjectAltName in SSL

[Maarten Thibaut]

Hi,

Never mind, seems pine does this correctly (together with firefox): the 
guy who made the cert forgot to include the subjectaltname extension, so 
the cert was being rejected by pine and thunderbird.

Interesting to know, that these are the only 2 mail clients that 
complained about the cert. All others went on as if everything was fine. 
Seems there aren't a lot of mail clients out there that handle this 
correctly!
