Hello!
Again, thanks to all (and especially to Lars and Ted and Julien) for
recent improvements to Gnus.
I wonder, is there a way to tell gnus that I'm fine with a particular
select method being totally insecure? Right now when I open any of the
groups subscribed through gmane it seems like auth-sources consults my
.authinfo.gpg. I _promise_ this doesn't need to happen for this
server. Is there a way to guarantee that my login credentials are never
checked for gmane groups?
Thanks,
/au

Hmm, that should be possible. Right now you could set `auth-sources' to
map that server to a nonexistent file, but a const option seems
cleaner. I'll add it to my TODO list.

It should only look into that file if it needs to get a password, I
think? Hm, no, the .authinfo file can have the "force" tag, which
controls whether the password is sent even if the server doesn't ask for
it. So it's a chicken/egg/omelet problem.
I'd just set auth-sources to ~/.authinfo, and forget about the .gpg file
myself...

With the recent caching work, this is not really an issue: the file is
cached in memory and needs to be opened if you have any credentials in
it anyway. So I don't think this needs a special case as I thought
originally.
