I am trying the below ; To avoid password on sending begin ;; (require 'auth-source) (require 'auth-source "/home/tk/Emacs/ngnus-0.10/lisp/auth-source") ;; ;(require 'epa-file "~/elisp/epa-file.el") (require 'epa-file) ;; (epa-file-enable) ;; ;(setq gnus-verbose 10) ;; (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) ; VERY important ;; ;(setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption-timeout 60) ;; (if (file-exists-p "~/.authinfo.gpg") ;; (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t))) ;; (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo" :host t :protocol t)))) ; To avoid password on sending end However, I didn't have auth-sources in my path so I changed to the above. Now also I don't have epa-file.el and I can't find it. Where can I download it ? Moreover, is the above at all right? I have just paste it from somewhere but I dont really know what it is doing. -- Associate Prof. Ph.D Torben Knudsen Mobile : (+45) 2787 9826 Section of Automation and Control, Direct : 6 8694 Department of Electronic Systems, Email : [email protected] Aalborg University Fredrik Bajersvej 7 DK-9220 Aalborg Ø Denmark _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
