Hi Carl,
see the attached patch. I am not sure if the parameter will be called
`nntp-auth' but please try applying the patch once and see if the logic
is correct. Let me know if you're not sure how to use this.
Thanks
Ted

Huh sorry, seems I missed the previous message. Perhaps my
leafnode was down for some time unnoticed --- I'm reading through
gmane.
I'm looking into it.

Hi,
Some time ago I was told that upon connecting a NNTP server the
authinfo file is always read, so as not to miss any lines with
`force' for the server. But it causes inconvenience when my
authinfo file is encrypted.
So I came again to ask, can I now inhibit reading of
authentication information for a specific server? If not, I'm
seriously requesting this feature. I do have some sort of GPG
agent running, but I think it better to give this option.
