   An update that has one optional fix can now be installed.

Description:


   This update delivers an additional mailx version built against openssl1 to
   enable TLS 1.2 support for SMTP, IMAP and POP3 connections.

   The main mailx package is also updated to use update-alternatives, easing
   the switch between the version built against openssl 0.9.8j and the one
   using openssl 1.0.1.

   The original mailx package includes /usr/bin/mailx.openssl0 and
   /usr/bin/mailx links to this binary by default.

   A new package mailx-openssl1 is supplied via the SECURITY module,
   including the /usr/bin/mailx.openssl1 binary.

   To switch /usr/bin/mailx to use openssl 1.0.1 and so support TLS 1.2 in
   encrypted connections use:

           update-alternatives --set mailx /usr/bin/mailx.openssl1

   to switch back, use:

           update-alternatives --set mailx /usr/bin/mailx.openssl0

   to display the current state use:

           update-alternatives --display mailx
