Yes indeed. I've been taking 'machine' to equate with host.
Which it appears to do in my regular nntp server lines in .authinfo
(Not in use now) like this:
'machine enews.newsguy.com login reader password xxxxxxx'
And the corresponding gnus-select-method
;(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "enews.newsguy.com"))
So, is that also incorrect in that case?
