I think it's better to leave this undocumented, I'd rather push people towards using a netrc file. Then they can store it with GPG encryption separately from the rest of their configuration, which is the better practice IMHO. If you and others feel that Gnus should explicitly discuss and promote inline password storage in addition to GPG-encrypted netrc files, please let me know. Either way, I should write a guide for setting up netrc files for Gnus and Emacs in general, using auth-source.el which I comitted recently. Thanks Ted
