Hello
I wonder about this caching. I've been reading the manual, and wonder if
I understand it correctly. I think I'm following 'the simple' example in
the docs.
my .authinfo.gpg contains two lines
machine 1 (mail)
machine 2 (usenet)
And Gnus accesses three machines, news, mail and gmane (among others for
reading this Ding here).
Now, Gnus at start-up currently asks me *six* times to decrypt
~/.authinfo.gpg and twice more when I send an email / news. I have cache
enabled, so I expected to be prompted just once, per Emacs session. Or
something.
in .emacs

in .gnus

| (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg")))
