I don't use W32 myself so I don't know how to fix this (but it's a
common issue with the command-line utilities).  This morning I posted a
patch (half of it is from Claudio Bley) on emacs-devel, though, which
enables C-level GnuTLS support for Gnus so none of this is necessary.
It's against the Emacs trunk.  Do you want to try it out before it goes
into the trunk and let me know if it works for you?

Thanks
