I've gotten pretty close to what you want. You can choose at this prompt: "Add to file ~/.authinfo.gpg? (y)es/(n)o but use it/(e)dit line/(s)kip file:" where picking ?n has that effect of "use but don't save it." I'm not sure if we want a auth-source-create-behavior variable that can be customized to 'nosaves, so it will be as if you always enter ?n at the prompt above. To me that seems an unnecessary refinement but if you disagree please let me know. Ted
