Well, we already have UseSSLv2, UseSSLv3, UseTLSv1, RequireSSL as
option; I don't think we need any more. We probably *do* need to say
explicitly which options Tunnel makes superflous, instead of just
saying "most other options", since once we support SSL over Tunnels
(which I need since I'm not using ssh tunnelling for security, but
rather to bypass idiotic firewalls, and in some cases the IMAP server
is on a different host than the ssh endpoint), a number of account
options definitely become useful, since a *large* number of the
account options are SSL related.
