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. > I also made gnus-encrypt-password-cache-expiry be a trigger for > password-cache-expiry, meaning that setting the former automatically > sets the latter. If this is incorrect, please let me know. 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. -- Steven E. Harris
