well trouble is squirrelmail just adds a little include to the
end of httpd.conf which is:
Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

(actually it just does the first one, I added the second one
cos I always get the spelling wrong of squirrelmail)

so, no there's no https bit

normal bits in the apache access file, nothing in the apache-ssl
logs - it's going to apache not apache-ssl, ie. not using
ssl/https.

I guess I just have to force that url to be https??
