However, I can't seem to get gnus (oGnus, cvs updated this morning) to read my authinfo. My situation is a bit strange: I tunnel IMAP (and SMTP) over ssh to my ISP. I do this not out of sheer pig-headedness, or a desire to be difficult, but rather because I buy my network connectivity from a different provider than my mail service. Anyway. No matter what machine name I list in the nnimap-authinfo-file file, gnus asks me for a username and password. Ideas?
