Why did you need to patch popper/Makefile?  What did you use for ./configure?

This looks to have been introduced in 4.0.12 as part of allowing 
"announce-expire" to be set to -1.  This change will be backed out 
for 4.0.13 (with a better fix in 4.1b9).  For now, try changing your 
/etc/mail/qpoppera.config file so that for TLS options that take file 
names, either put the file name in quotes, or just add a blank space 
after the file name.

Please let me know if this fixes it for you, and also about why you 
needed to modify popper/Makefile.

Thank you.
