+* Finish checking .wmbiffrc permissions.
+  With shell command execution support, it is even more
+  important to protect against other/group writability.
+  With passwords in the .wmbiffrc, .wmbiffrc shouldn't be
+  readable.  It might be best to complain all the time, but
+  only abort when a password is used from a readable file,
+  or a shell command is executed from a writable file.
 * Update for GNUTLS 0.4.x 
   GNUTLS changes its API on just about every release,
   generally to support additional functionality.  WMBiff
   will only release with support for one version of GNUTLS,
   likely whatever is in Debian unstable at the time.
 * Store and verify server certificates. 
-  I don't know whether gnutls supports this.  A pointer to
-  documentation that describes what to do, or a way to leech
-  stored certificates or CA's from mutt would be great.
+  Mutt will do this, but it seems to require a lot of code
+  that should perhaps be part of gnutls. If anyone is
+  interested in taking Andrew McDonald's gnutls for mutt
+  support and applying it to wmbiff, I'd accept the patch.
