Hmm, I'm not the original reporter, and don't yet deeply understand the
relevant issues, but on the surface, the "bug" appears to just ask that
Emacs "stop using or mentioning s_client".

If that turns out to be a reasonable request, then I'd imagine that the
code in imap.el, etc. would need adjustment, i.e.

  (defcustom imap-ssl-program '("openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"
                                "openssl s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p"
                                "s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"
                                "s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p")

In any case, I can certainly send you the report-emacs-bug information
from my system, but the bug didn't originate there (I don't even have
emacs23 installed at the moment).  Did you mean for Kurt to send it?

And what kind of test did you have in mind?

Thanks
