Bug Description
The manual says:
If your environment has the `EasyPG' utility and your version of
Emacs supports it, i.e., has the `epa-file' and `auth-source'
libraries, then you can store password information in a file such
as `.authinfo.gpg'. The `EasyPG' protocol allows you to store this
information in an encrypted form so that it cannot be read by third
parties. Each line in the `.authinfo.gpg' file should be of the
form...
This might give the impression that this happens automatically,
perhaps would be useful to mention that one needs to (require
'auth-source)? Or perhaps I just missed it...
