Subject: Using passwords in authinfo.pgp?

Hello,

When starting Gnus, it prompts my different passwords for my
mailboxes, but never for my news server. However, this news server
needs an authentification. 

I have crypted my .authinfo file (resulting in .authinfo.gpg, a
crypted .authinfo), and one part of my .gnus file is

(setq nntp-authinfo-file ".authinfo.gpg")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials ".authinfo.gpg")

It should be thus read, shouldn't it?
Gnus seems to look in .authinfo.gpg for nntp authentification, but not
for my nnml one. Why? I added

(setq mail-source-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")

but it seems to be deprecated.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.
