It seems to be the imap server I connect to with ssl that hangs when I
try to update. Also, it's not true to say Gnus hangs, but the process
of updating does. Quitting it means I can't open any of the groups,
and when I try to quit Gnus it gets stuck on writing ~/.newsrc.eld and
I have to cancel that too. I have this setup:
(setq imap-ssl-program "openssl s_client -tls1 -connect %s:%p")
[snip]
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "brighton.ac.uk"
(nnimap-address "staffmail.brighton.ac.uk")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl))
(nntp "freenews.netfront.net")))
