I don't think this should be added to Emacs or Gnus. It is a non-standard SASL mechanism and few if any servers supports it. > hmac-sha1.el:;; Author: Shuhei KOBAYASHI > > This provides the HMAC-SHA1 function which is based on the SHA1 hash function. This file is generally useful, but it is not needed by the SASL stuff. I think it should be added. /Simon
