Does nnimap still read ~/.authinfo for passwords?

It used to work for me until I upgraded to Gnus v5.8.2, using
'mail-sources' to set up my IMAP source. At first, I tried to leave
off the ':password' argument since it's specified in ~/.authinfo. Gnus
could not log in to the IMAP server. Finally I gave up, put the
':password' argument in, and separated the mail-sources stuff into a
separate file so I could lock down the permissions on it. I never
found a change in the documentation to suggest that this wouldn't work
any longer.
