I rebuilt Gnus from CVS and can confirm that using an encrypted
.authinfo file works as promised. I only get asked for my password
once and Gnus authenticates with all servers automatically.

One observation: Exiting Gnus seems to clear the password cache. Is
that intentional? If so, could it be optional? I sometimes quit Gnus
then restart it again soon afterward. I would have expected my
encryption password to be cached even when Gnus is not running.
Thanks again for your continued effort.
