Comment 12 for bug 44335

mail-notifications is completely useless to any reasonable person since it doesn't handle ssl. It has been like this for _many years_ in debian, and my question (unanswered) has always been: Why the heck compile against openssl and not gnutls? gnutls has an openssl wrapper, so it should be a rather simple thing to do. Why even have this package in ubuntu when it is completely useless? Please don't tell me you Want people to not use ssl?
This is unfortunately pathetic. Years of unusable.
Thanks for the package Nicolas, but I'm on edgy, and I don't like packages which synaptic/apt wants to remove for every update I do.

It's just unbelievable. Completely unbelievable. I don't even understand why OpenSSL is in debian/ubuntu in the first place. Build the programs against GnuTLS, so we can get rid of all these non-issues which is only due to maintainer lazyness.
You have to excuse me, all of you are doing a good job, but this IS lazyness. And it has been like this for YEARS. Is nobody using mail anymore?

Maybe when everyone started to blog, cause they thought people cared what they think, they forgot about mail, I dunno.
