Proposal for `gnus-gcc-inhibit-security'

Hi,

In gnu.emacs.gnus there was a discussion that resulted in the
following message:

<news://news.gmane.org/iluu1cuk5xw.fsf@latte.josefsson.org>

and Simon Josefsson suggesting the possibility of a
`gnus-gcc-inhibit-security' variable that would suppress the
processing of `#secure' MML directives when posting via GCC.

What do people think?  I like the idea, and would like to see it
implemented.  In fact, I'm willing to try implementing it myself, but
I'm new here ;-) and just starting to find my way around the Gnus
code.  So if this does seem like a good idea and no one else wants to
do it, I'll start writing...

They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
non-existed in an entirely different way.

Hmm.  I don't know why I thought that message would have ended up on
gmane...  *shrug*  Apologies for the invalid link.

Kublai: We have proved that if we were here, we
would not be.
Polo: And here, in fact, we are.

It sounds like it would be useful, so go ahead.  :-)

But since we're in feature freeze, it probably wouldn't be a good
idea to add this until No Gnus.
