For a while i'd been facing the problem that, when i opened an HTML email (erk) in mu4e, Emacs would freeze; my only recourse was to terminate the Emacs process. Today i worked out that a call to `openssl` is the source of the problem: installing the `gnutls-bin` package and modifying the value of the variable `tls-program` to only call `gnutls-cli` fixed the issue. Modifying `tls-program` to add the "-no_ssl3" switch to the `openssl` invocation had not helped. Of course, OpenSSL's internals are apparently a wretched hive of scum, so i'm wondering if anyone else has faced this problem? Is this a known issue? Alexis.
