I'm not sure I follow your complaint here. Are you saying that Comcast or a Comcast customer in Washington state stripped the STARTTLS verb from the IPv4 port 587 SMTP submission connection between you and a third party?
And, of course, *just* as I hit send, I remembered it was in RISKS, linking to EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/starttls-downgrade-attacks Note that's dated 11 November, so this is a couple weeks old now.
