Re: wrong argument in gnus.el

[gfp <gfp@posteo.at>]

Hi Arash,

I tried now to change the .authinfo.gpg file
in my home folder into ".authinfo"
and opened gnus again

And now it works. _Hurrah_
I got my emails from posteo.
I am happy.

It seems that my distro GNU Guix can´t use pgp.
If you have any idea to use gpg I am grateful.

Thanks to all for your help.
The endeavour of all of you was successful.
At least I can read my mails.This is the first step into gnus.

Gottfried
