Hi,

more than a year ago I provided a patch for mail notification to work with gnutls hoping
that this would speedup either distribution with openssl or gnutls enabled.
At that time, creating a gnutls enabled mail notification package failed due to a lack of time
of the involved persons. As it looks to me that distributing mail notification with openssl
support enabled will still take some more time before it happens, I've now updated
the mail notification 5.4 ubuntu jaunty source package to come with gnutls enabled.

Though, the upstream author mentioned in comment 64 that he would dislike
such a package being named mail notification. That's why I renamed the package
to secure mail notification. As soon as debian and ubuntu decide to distribute
mail notification with openssl support enabled, secure mail notification will become
obsolete.

For those who cannot await secure mail notification being in the universe repository,
I'm uploading a signed binary (jaunty x86) and the source package.
