Err, uhm, yeah. I think its too small a change for NEWS. But it needs documentation. I was going to do that, but ran into trouble: it properly belongs in auth-source, and I just noticed that the auth-source documentation is woefully out of date. For example, you can really only effectively use :smtp-auth for a plstore, and auth-source doesn't even mention plstore as one of its backends :( ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

The .netrc/.authinfo backend returns all keywords when a lookup succeeds, so adding ":smtp-auth super-sekrit-method" to an entry works fine.

Huh, I thought I tried it and it failed, but as you say, it works just fine.

I added a cross-reference to it from auth-source (never let it be said that the Emacs documentation doesnʼt have enough cycles in it). Robert ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
