If it was just AT&T, I'd lay the blame at their feet.  But it's not.
Here's another nmh user who had the same issue (even weirder, their
SMTP server only accepted TLS ... on port 80):

If this was a theoretical, "Should we add this code or not?", well,
maybe it's worth having that discussion.  But the code is already there
(and it's actually pretty small), people are using it, and I don't
think it makes sense to remove it.
