The available values for gnus-cloud-storage-method, are:
 - No encoding
 - Base64
 - Base64+gzip
 - EPG (the default)

I have tried Base64+gzip and I have tried "No encoding" and neither of
them works when decoding.

Storing in Base64+gzip gives "Invalid base 64 data" when reading.

Storing wih "No encoding" gives:
 Skipping article 20 because it didn’t match the Gnus Cloud method base64-gzip: (sequence: 16 type: :full storage-method: nil)

(which I don't understand at all because I had set
gnus-cloud-storage-method to "No encoding").

The only format that works, is EPG and that prompts me twice for a code
when saving, which is annoying.

But there is no prompt on load and the sync seems to work.

Deleting all messages from the Emacs-Cloud nnimap folder seems to work
OK.  The two computers seems to have different ideas of what the
contents are (maybe because both use agent?), but deleting with "B DEL"
on the computer that showed one more article than the other, seemed to
flush the state for both of them.
