Thereafter, when I do `g' in my *Group* buffer, it fails to check my IMAP server unless I press `g' twice. The second time, it re-establishes the openssl connection. This costs me a lot of time because the first time through it needs to check all my newsgroup servers before it will process my second `g'. Also, I often forget that the SSL connection might be dropped. Is there a way to get GNUs to establish the SSL connection immediately if it has been dropped?
