I think an elisp implementation of GSSAPI is unrealistic. As far as I can tell, there is no standard external application that can provide access to GSSAPI, so what is the suggested solution? gssapi.el uses (defcustom gssapi-program (list (concat gsasl %s %p --mechanism GSSAPI --authentication-id %l) imtest -m gssapi -u %l -p %p %s) I would guess that reusing gassapi.el for the new nnimap.el would be the easiest. It's a matter of getting nnimap.el to recognising that GSSAPI should be used, I think. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
