It almost works as expected, but for one annoyance. I have four servers listed in my .authinfo file. When I start Gnus, I get asked for the decryption password six or seven times as various connections get opened, despite having gnus-encrypt-password-cache-expiry set to 120. Shouldn't I only be asked for my decryption password once? Surely something must be wrong, for it would be easier to type four different passwords than to type a single on seven times. Related questions: o Does Gnus really reparse ~/.authinfo every time a connection gets opened? o Could Gnus cache the decrypted ~/.authinfo data to avoid running gpg so many times? -- Steven E. Harris
