Can you show the authinfo line, edited for password, and the server
name as Gnus knows it?
I think netrc.el needs a rewrite for better logging. I tried to do it
but didn't have the time, and the current logic has a look-ahead loop
that makes logging much more difficult than it should be. It's not
hard to rewrite it so maybe I'll do it if no one else wants to.
