I know :-)
Actually, it does indeed prompt me for the password, but when invoked
with w3-fetch. The problem I have is with the picons network retreival in
Gnus. It hangs and never retreive anything. Without any former queries to w3,
I was expecting to be asked for the proxy password by gnus (or w3) for the
first picons retreival, but nothing happens. Any idea ?
