Subject: workaround for Cisco PIX text substitution

Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:38:00 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.16-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

as highlighted in the news recently, some Cisco products replace the string
"STARTTLS" in an EHLO response by XXXXXXXA in the default configuration,
making clients fall back to unencrypted connections or giving up, depending
on configuration.

This patch makes Thunderbird/Icedove interpret the replacement string as the
original, reenabling encryption.
