[PATCH 0/2] Simpler authentication with SASL

[Albert Krewinkel <tarleb@moltkeplatz.de>]

Hello,

even though gnus as an implementation of the SASL protocol, no part of
gnus other than managesieve makes use of it.  A possible explanation
is that the current code is a transliteration of some Java program and
is rather awkward to use.  This is an attempt to fix the situation.

SASL authenticating with the proposed code just requires three simple,
protocol specific functions.  Sample usage of this method is
demonstrated in sieve-manage.el.

Please let me know what you think of the proposed changes.  The
patches are also available at github (https://github.com/tarleb/gnus).

Cheers,

Albert
