Is there an RSS aggregator for Gnus 5.8.8? I believe there's one in
5.10.2, but I just downloaded it, and it does not seem to be a nice
drop-in replacement for 5.8.8 (it choked on my authinfo file, which
I've been using forever now). Thanks for any help!

What's the problem with the .authinfo file? I've been using mine for
a long time, too, and I don't have problems with 5.10.

There's a bug in nnimp that Reiner posted a fix for, both of which
(the bug & the fix) I found with a Google search. I'm connecting to
the same server (localhost -- ssh port forwarding) as multiple users,
using nnimap as a foreign server rather than a secondary server.
Something in all of that caused the bug to happen, and the .authinfo
is ignored. I patched it with the new code and all is well. I've
successfully upgraded to 5.10.2 and the world is a much safer
place.....thanks!

Are you saying that you _could_ use ~/.authinfo with the same IMAP
server and with different user names with Gnus 5.8.8? I can hardly
imagine that, because the code of `nnimap-open-connection' is the same
in 5.8.8 and 5.10.2.
Anyway, I've committed the abovementioned patch to CVS now.
Bye, Reiner.

Yes, unless I patched it then, too. But that was more than a year
ago.
Hmmm, what I have in 5.8.8 is slightly different than the pre-patched
version of 5.10.2:
,----[ 5.8.8 ]
| (alist (gnus-netrc-machine list (or nnimap-server-address
| server nnimap-address)
| port "imap"))
`----
,----[ 5.10.2 pre-patch ]
| (alist (gnus-netrc-machine list (or nnimap-server-address
| nnimap-address server)
| port "imap"))
`----
,----[ 5.10.2 post-patch ]
| (alist (or (gnus-netrc-machine list server port "imap")
| (gnus-netrc-machine list
| (or nnimap-server-address
| nnimap-address)
| port "imap")))
`----
It's possible that I could have changed it at some point; I really
don't remember. It only worked with IMAP as a foreign server, IIRC,
not as a secondary server.
HTH!

This is from 5.8.8:
(alist (gnus-netrc-machine list (or nnimap-server-address
nnimap-address server)
port "imap"))

It seems so.
BTW: I'd recommend not to change the Gnus (or Emacs) files directly.
If really necessary, put changes, e.g. here the defun of
`nnimap-open-connection' in your own Lisp file, say my-nnimap.el, and
load it in this way:
(eval-after-load "nnimap" '(load "my-nnimap"))
It's nearly impossible to locate problems, if you (unwittingly) run
your home-brewed version of Emacs.
Bye, Reiner.
