"Email Made In Germany" was the slogan of several large German email providers and they introduced what should have been standard by now: The encryption of e-mail traffic with SSL. For the Atari internet programs, however, this is a problem.
Except for the programs of Pierre Tonthat alias Rajah Lone: His FTP client Litchi supports FTP over SSL under MiNT/MiNTNet, it can encrypt the password for authentication or the entire file transfer. His e-mail clients Troll and Meg also make use of the SSL library (Polarssl.ldg). So Troll now supports secure e-mail connections via the POP3 and IMAP protocols.
Particularly pleasing for Firebee owners: Pierre always releases his applications in a version that runs on the fiery bee as well.
