That works, I guess. I suppose compatibility with .netrc files isn't all that
important. It doesn't really take much more effort to maintain another file.
Have you added any permission checks to Gnus? FTP gives an error if passwords
are listed in ~/.netrc and the permissions are not 600. I think it would be
wise if Gnus would do the same thing.
Later,
