Subject: nnimap-shell-program is not documented
Date: Mon, 25 May 2015 09:17:38 -0700

Hello,

The Gnus manual (6.3.2) says that the 'nnimap-shell-program' variable
may be used to customize the shell command that's used to connect to the
remote server.

However, this variable is undocumented when passed to describe-variable,
in particular it does not say whether it's a regular variable or a
server variable.

Gnus v5.13
GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5)
 of 2015-03-07 on trouble, modified by Debian

Best,
-Nikolaus

I've now documented this (as well as the missing stuff from
`open-network-stream').
