        I don't know.  I have no problem accessing the https stuff
at RSA, or anywhwere else, and now can both read and post to Netscape's
secnews SSL news server as well.  Has Tom tried the lastest SSL patch
set and had any problems?

        Note that the people using a hookless Lynx with Tom's SSL
daemon should be able to just define snewspost_proxy and
snewsreply_proxy identically to their snews_proxy for that daemon,
but that hasn't been tested empirically yet, i.e., I'm waiting for
Tom to try it and let me know if it actually works.
