Just following up for completeness: Hitting `n', hitting some invalid keys (such as cursor movement keys), and hitting `C-g' in response to the Continue connecting? (No, Session only, Always) prompt, _all__ seem to result in the same behaviour. Gnus starts but there is no connection made to the insecure server. This seems to be a safe interpretation of `C-g', but its a bit unexpected for invalid key presses.
