-       - "openssl" library is used by git-imap-send to use IMAP over SSL.
-         If you don't need it, use NO_OPENSSL.
+       - git-imap-send needs the OpenSSL library to talk IMAP over SSL if
+         you are using libcurl older than 7.34.0.  Otherwise you can use
+         NO_OPENSSL without losing git-imap-send.
 
          By default, git uses OpenSSL for SHA1 but it will use its own
          library (inspired by Mozilla's) with either NO_OPENSSL or
          BLK_SHA1.  Also included is a version optimized for PowerPC
          (PPC_SHA1).
 
-       - "libcurl" library is used by git-http-fetch and git-fetch.  You
-         might also want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes.
-         If you do not use http:// or https:// repositories, you do not

+       - "libcurl" library is used by git-http-fetch, git-fetch, and, if

+         want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes. If you do not
+         use http:// or https:// repositories, and do not want to put

        - "expat" library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
          management over DAV.  Similar to "curl" above, this is optional
