Gnus prompts for the gpg passphrase but then does not use the line within .authinfo.gpg . It asks for the name and password again and writes to .authinfo file despite the nnimap configuration [1] having .authinfo.gpg as the file to use. [1] The nnimap configuration follows: ;; quote (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "XXX" (nnimap-address "XXX") (nnimap-server-port XXX) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg"))) ;; quote ends -- © 2019 Van L gpg using EEF2 37E9 3840 0D5D 9183 251E 9830 384E 9683 B835 "What's so strange when you know that you're a Wizard at 3?" -Joni Mitchell
