I checked my change to the code, as I said it is trivial, and at that 
time we reached the conclusion that it worked for STRATLS, port 875, but 
didn't work for TLS/SSL, port 465.

In fact the registry change will not change anything since the 
executable is just using cygssl-3.dll, which supports all versions of 
TLS, up to 1.3 .

Something else is not working in eMail.  My copy doesn't even try to 
connect, just dies.  So the code needs to be enhanced/debugged again. 
It would be interesting to find why TLS/SSL never worked.
