+If mutt is compiled with IMAP, POP3 and/or SMTP support, it can also be
+compiled with support for SSL or TLS using either OpenSSL or GnuTLS (
+by running the <emphasis>configure</emphasis> script with the 
+<emphasis>--enable-ssl=...</emphasis> option for OpenSSL or
+<emphasis>--enable-gnutls=...</emphasis> for GnuTLS). Mutt can then
+attempt to encrypt communication with remote servers if these protocols
+are suffixed with ``s'' for ``secure communication''.
