Hm, here's a slightly modified nntp-send-authinfo-from-file.
(defun nntp-send-authinfo-from-file-1 ()
"Send the AUTHINFO to the nntp server.
This function is supposed to be called from `nntp-server-opened-hook'.
It will prompt for a password."
(when (file-exists-p "~/.nntp-userpass")
(nnheader-temp-write nil
(insert-file-contents "~/.nntp-userpass")
(goto-char (point-min))
(nntp-send-command "^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO USER"
(buffer-substring (point) (progn end-of-line) (point)))
(forward-line 1)
(nntp-send-command
"^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO PASS"
(buffer-substring (point) (progn (end-of-line) (point)))))))
This should read a ~/.nntp-userpass file consisting of two lines: the
first line contains the user name, the second line contains the
password.
Does this work?
