Nope, I tried that too in a later followup. If I have
machine localhost port "1430" login jas password foo
it would query me for hostname, port, username and password again and
offer to save it (in ~/.authinfo.gpg) as:
machine localhost login jas password foo
so it seems the code is forgetting that the server is on a non-default
port.
Btw, shouldn't all auto-added stanzas to ~/.authinfo* use "port"? Just
because you are saving a password for say port 143 doesn't mean you have
the same password (or even username) for port 587.
