Dear Maintainer,

I've connected to a server but am receiving a message "The server version
9.0.2.2- is unsupported! Proceed at your own risk."

This message is confusing, since it doesn't give any clue as to what the client
version is.  The Debian package version, 2.5.1.10973+dfsg-1, is so wildly at
odds with 9.0.2.2 that there doesn't seem a meaningful comparison.  Is this a
protocol version?  Indeed, Internet discussions of same indicate that there's
no meaningful comparison between the two at all, but it looks as if pre-10
servers are obsolete.

Perhaps the client could indicate what server versions it supports, and suggest
a judgement as to whether it's the client or the server that needs an upgrade?

Best,
Conrad
