Cone uses TLS despite setting nossl

I'm using cone 0.70 (linked against courier-sox) to access an IMAP account 
over an ssh socks proxy. I've defined my IMAP server as:

mailhost.my.domain/nossl

Despite this, cone wants to use TLS to connect to the mail host. Why isn't 
cone honouring the "nossl" setting? I already have a secure tunnel to my 
IMAP host, and there's no need for a second layer of encryption.

Looking at the code, the flag is /notls, not /nossl. Not sure why the help 
file refers to /nossl.

Thanks Sam. That works as expected.
