[h-e-w] [Gnus] IMAP and AUTH=NTLM

[Bernd Wolter]

Hi group,

does anybody have any experience with Gnus (5.9) authenticating against an
IMAP server (imap4 rev2) that has AUTH=NTLM?

>From googling I gathered that NTLM is Bill's idea of gargling your
login-password for the use with remote servers. I've even seen
descriptions where someone cut'n'pasted a huge munched string into a
telnet window - where do you find that information, or can you somehow
generate it on the fly?

But I'd rather just use emacs/gnus and perferably with the password in
.authinfo.

System info:

NT4 SP6
Imap4 rev2
Emacs21.1
Gnus 5.9

TIA
