btw, just looked again
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "mymail"
(nnimap-stream tls)
(nnimap-address "myserver.net")
(nnimap-expunge-on-close always)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")
(nnimap-nov-is-evil nil)
(nnir-search-engine imap)))
if I remove the nnimap-authinfo line it most definitely does not default
to auth-sources. it prompts me for a user and a password. my authsources
set up is
(require 'auth-source)
(require 'epa-file)
(setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) ;;VERY Important
(if (file-exists-p "~/.authinfo.gpg")
(setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t)))
(setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo" :host t :protocol t))))
emacs 23 (with accompanying gnus).
