If we're going to warn people about having "unsafe" passwords, it shouldn't be intrusive. And if there was a nice, painless road towards storing the passwords in ~/.authinfo.gpg, that would be nice. That is, if the user is queried for user name/password, then auth-source.el should store it encrypted, and not in the plain ~/.authinfo file. (At least it's not stored there when I try it, but I might just not have stuff set up correctly.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
