I'm using the Cygwin X version of Emacs Gnus for email. I recently
switched from some other version of TLS to the Cygwin gnutls.
When I switched, it started prompting me for the send password with each
email I send. Previously, it would cache the password somewhere.
I'd like to debug this, but the elisp source files are missing, and I
don't see how to get the Cygwin installer to install them.
The elisp source files are in the emacs-el package.
I also don't see the precise version on the FSF Gnu FTP site; Emacs
reports 23.2.1, but I only see 23.2 there.
This is a common source of confusion. The short answer is that you
should ignore the final '.1'. For a longer answer, see

Hints on getting gnutls to work better with Emacs Gnus are also welcome.
There's been a lot of discussion about this lately on the emacs-devel
mailing list, which I haven't been following in detail. I think you can
expect a lot of improvement in gnutls integration in emacs-24, but
probably not before that.
