I vote for this!!! At the moment I have created my own function that I point the authentification function at that sends the login and pass. Uhm am I the only one having problems with hangs after entering user/pass, pressing C-g fixes and I can continue to read news from that server, but when gnus-async kicks away and I have answered user/login I can't abort it with C-g. /andy BTW What is mode stream?? (Messing around with dnews servers, are there any good docs for the extra commands and so on? I have a hard time finding a RFC with for example XOVER in it
