at  nnimap "riley" is that supposed to be the actual name of a gmail
account inbox?  Or just a name being used in gnus?

The machine you connect to at gmail is named `riley'

Seeing that written out made me recall something a while back about
that on this list.  Does .authinfo have to be authinfo.gpg?
Or is that optional?
