Please make up your mind > ;-). I'm confused. The usage text for --smtp-server currently has <host:port>, which doesn't work when 'ssl' is used for the connection to the server. However, the other forms of connection DO work when a <host:port> address is given. I set out to add <host:port> support for SSL, but then decided that people should just use the --smtp-server-port input. It already works for every connection method and why else have it? However, rather than remove ALL support for <host:port>, I just changed <host:port> to <host> in the usage text for --smtp-server. So, effectively, I've deprecated <host:port> by changing the documentation, but the code hasn't changed. Would you rather support <host:port> for everything? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
