Why should 3) look into .authinforc when 1) already has established
that it doesn't exist there?
Anyways, the problem is to decide which servers to send authinfo to
automatically. I say we add some token to .authinforc -- "force",
perhaps? Or (to keep compatibility with .netrc), have the user name
be of a certain form? "login force:larsi" to say to nntp that it
should always send authinfo for this server?
