Thanks for reviving the topic. Steinar Bang recently took up a similar discussion on the ding list.¹ > Have you found a workaround, have things started working with a newer > Emacs CVS, or are you still stuck? Unfortunately, I'm still stuck. I haven't installed a newer Emacs; the one I have installed is GNU Emacs 22.3.1, built on 6 September 2008. I have updated my Gnus installation to track the CVS repository. As I mentioned earlier, I had been building up my Emacs installation to be parallel with the XEmacs setup I've built over the last ten years or so, but I'm never going to make the switch until I get Gnus working properly. > I don't have a Cygwin setup here but I can make one if no one else can > help debug this. What would happen if someone installed Emacs on Windows without Cygwin? Could Gnus running in Emacs still make secure connections to an IMAP server? I'm loath to install another OpenSSL package, given that the Cygwin one is already there on my computer, but perhaps that's what it's going to take. What's odd here is that a non-Cygwin Emacs is able to use various Cygwin programs without trouble. What is special about this case, where apparently openssl as invoked by Emacs is able to negotiate a secure connection properly, but not get the actual payload content through as expected? Dangerous as it may be, how does one convince Gnus /not/ to use a secure connection to an IMAP server? I'd like to try that temporarily to see if it works when we take openssl out of the picture.
