Its entirely appropriate to encrypt where possible. I'm still quite sure
that this is a broken or misconfigured server, or perhaps something
strange in the ssl support on your machine.

However, I'm not against adding an option to disable tls for working
with such servers.

I would like to actually understand exactly what is going wrong before
changing things though, because that way we can fix the right bug.
