Why does nmh have SASL support? Because I needed, and I wrote the

clear to me that it's really all that hard ... but it hasn't happened
yet.
I think the difficulty may depending on the TLS library to use.
When I looked at years ago wrt openssl, it appeared to me that the
work require rewriting I/O stuff in nmh. Of course, I was not an
expert at the time, but I did not see a quick fix to the problem.
