You might want to fix your mailer's idea of quoting, since I did not write
what you yourself wrote :)

Unless, of course, you are trying to communicate with a third-party
product that speaks SSL - if either the client or the server is not
under your control, there's no way to make them use multiplexed SSH
connections instead of SSL :)  But if it's just stunnel on both sides,
then yes, SSH tunneling may be a better choice for multiplexing, although
it has its own problems - most often related to connection keepalive,
especially if there is some kind of firewalling gateway on the path.

G'luck,
Peter
