Comment:
This is a small patch in order to allow the user to override SSL's default
selection of ciphers when connecting to IMAP/POP/etc.. It adds a variable
in the muttrc called ssl_ciphers, that can contain an SSL-formatted cipher
string (for example: "AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA") which will be used when
connecting to the server.
This can be useful in order to override a server's "preferred" cipher if
the user prefers to use another cipher. The string of ciphers can also be
as long as desired, allowing for multiple fallbacks if the preferred
cipher is not available.
