Hello Mutt Users,

I've just released version 2.0.2.  Instructions for downloading are 
available at <http://www.mutt.org/download.html>, or the tarball can be 
directly downloaded from <http://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/>. Please take 
the time to verify the signature file against my public key.

This is an important bug fix release, addressing CVE-2020-28896.  Mutt 
had incorrect error handling when initially connecting to an IMAP 
server, which could result in an attempt to authenticate without 
enabling TLS.

Thanks to Gabriel Salles-Loustau for discovering the problem, and 
including detailed information and a reproducing example in his report!

Also thanks to Richard Russon for coordinating the release with Mutt.

-Kevin
