Is that saying "always use starttls if the server reports being able to
handle it"? In which case, was my problem that gmane appeared to be able
to handle it but actually can't?

Or is the above saying "always use starttls unless I tell you otherwise
(e.g. in the select method using nntp-open-connection-function)"? In
which case, what's the correct mechanism for turning off starttls?
