Hmph, let's read on to resolve "when built with NO_OPENSSL, giving --no-curl now errors out or do something else? do we need to? why?", which was my knee-jerk reaction.

"if using the imap.tunnel to open a tunnel over ssl"? because I think there are some grammo there.
"to omit the OpenSSL prerequisite" -> "if you do not need it"? because the original sounds like losing prereq without any penalty.

OK. That is a natural consequence of losing USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND conditional, which is good.

And this too is a natural consequence of http.o that serves as a linkage between us and libcURL being always used. Good.

> use_curl = 1;In the original, this part reached iff we had USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND, so "if we are using curl and do not have openssl, then --no-curl is rejected and we forced use of curl" was how the original behaved here.
Here, we always link with curl, so the updated code is doing exactly the same thing. Good.
But then the documentation change above that puzzled me was there not because it was needed to match updated behaviour (the behaviour stayed the same). So was it meant as a documentation improvement?
