Hello again,

just a few seconds ago, I sent my suggestions on how authentication could be
made most convenient, but I obviously missed the most integrated and
straightforward idea:

What percentage of the news readers allow the use of authenticated NNTP? I
know OE does, you simply supply a login name and password in the account
properties. Could this system not have been implemented to save having to
use a news client, a mail client and a web browser just to post a message?

So, thanks, Daniel, for bringing this up. I would strongly vote for this
solution!

Greetings

Horst
