I'm using the Cygwin X version of Emacs Gnus for email. I recently
switched from some other version of TLS to the Cygwin gnutls.
When I switched, it started prompting me for the send password with each
email I send. Previously, it would cache the password somewhere.
I'd like to debug this, but the elisp source files are missing, and I
don't see how to get the Cygwin installer to install them.
I also don't see the precise version on the FSF Gnu FTP site; Emacs
reports 23.2.1, but I only see 23.2 there.
Where and how do I get the elisp source for Cygwin X Emacs?
Hints on getting gnutls to work better with Emacs Gnus are also welcome.

The elisp source files are in the emacs-el package.

This is a common source of confusion. The short answer is that you
should ignore the final '.1'. For a longer answer, see

There's been a lot of discussion about this lately on the emacs-devel
mailing list, which I haven't been following in detail. I think you can
expect a lot of improvement in gnutls integration in emacs-24, but
probably not before that.

Ah. I did look, but apparently I just didn't see that. Sorry for the
noise.
Now I can see the sources; thanks.

Ok, thanks; I've never noticed that before.

Me either; too much traffic.

Just FYI, the problem turned out to be password-cache-expiry; it was set
to 16 seconds.
I had upgraded Emacs versions as well, apparently this is a new feature.
