any solution involving storing cleartext passwords is not good : this is
why Ive been anticipating this for a long while - its so nice to have my
pwds in a gpg file.

Even my non gnus stuff uses auth files now utilising the following function
example:-

,----
| (setq twittering-username (nth 0 (auth-source-user-and-password
| "twitter")))
`----

(auth stuff is pretty overwhelmingly complex! )
