 Should we provide an opt-out option for poor yahoo [1] (and potentially
 others) users?
 (This might be anyway a requirement for a successfull AMO review...)

 Also: Is yahoo the only one (throughout the big freemailers) that doesn't
 support secure reneg.?
 What is currently the overall situation? How many freemailers/users are we
 excluding with this setting [2]?
