I'm trying a different newsserver for a while and put the needed info
in ~/.authinfo. However, when I start gnus it still prompts me for my
uid and passwd. I've tripple checked that its entered correctly.
I type the exact same info at the 2 prompts and get the news. How can
I debug this?
Its on winxp and No Gnus v0.3

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.

C-x i ~/.authinfo<RET>
machine enews.newsguy.com login myuid password xxxxxxx
machine news.ind.sbclgobal.net login myuid@xxxxx.net password xxxxxxx
The first one for newsguy works as expected.
Sbcglobal requires the full email address including `@'.
I continue to get prompted for both on that server and when entered
at the prompt exactly as in authinfo it works.
