 +=== Use SSL/TLS ===
 +
 +Mystic BINKP server and FIDOPOLL now support opportunistic SSL (TLS v1.2+) using a proprietary extension of the BINKP protocol. This means that it will only work with other Mystic BBS clients and servers, but the author plans to document the extension and send it to the authors of other mailers in hopes that it can be standardized.
 +
 +EchoMail Nodes now have three settings which can be used when polling for new mail:
 +
 +      No     : FIDOPOLL will not use SSL extension at all
 +      Yes    : FIDOPOLL WILL use SSL if the server supports it
 +      Forced : FIDOPOLL will refuse to exchange mail with a server
 +               unless it supports SSL
 +
 +This setting is experimental at present so your mileage may vary. If you're having issues connecting to other systems it's best to set this to 'No' for now.
