Also I could not find `nntp-stream' and `nntp-server-port' in (info "gnus"); and in my configuration I actually use `nntp-port-number' and `nntp-open-connection-function' set to `nntp-open-ssl-stream'. (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nntp "news.gmane.org" (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream) (nntp-port-number 563))) -- Felix Dietrich
