Description of problem:

This text appears to have been incorrectly edited and is now confusing:

--sslproto <name>
              (Keyword: sslproto)
              Forces  an  SSL/TLS  protocol.  Possible  values are ’’, ’SSL2’,
              ’SSL23’, (use of these two values is discouraged and should only
              be  used  as  a  last  resort)  ’SSL3’, and ’TLS1’.  The default
              behaviour if this option is unset is:  for  connections  without
              --ssl,  use  ’TLS1’  that  fetchmail  will opportunistically try
              STARTTLS negotiation with TLS1. You can  configure  this  option
              explicitly  if the default handshake (TLS1 if --ssl is not used,
              does not work for your server.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. man fetchmail
2. /sslproto

Actual results:
as above

Expected results:
as per Fedora 22:

  --sslproto <name>
 (Keyword: sslproto)
  Forces an SSL/TLS protocol. Possible values are '', 'SSL2' (not supported on all systems), 'SSL23', (use of these two  values  is  discouraged and should only be used as a last resort) 'SSL3', and 'TLS1'. The default behaviour if this option is unset is: for connections without --ssl, use 'TLS1' so that fetchmail will opportunistically try STARTTLS negotiation with TLS1. You can configure this option explicitly if the default handshake (TLS1 if --ssl is not used) does not work for your server.


Additional info:

The words "use 'TLS1' so that" string is not very clear as some might think they have to use it, rather than "will be used" which seems to be what the author meant. If that part was omitted, would that be clearer? i.e.: The default behaviour if this option is unset is: for connections without --ssl, fetchmail will opportunistically try STARTTLS negotiation with TLS1.

Or:
for connections without --ssl, use 'TLS1'. This causes fetchmail to opportunistically try STARTTLS negotiation with TLS1.


Thank you
