You mean, even if I hadn't put nntp-send-authinfo into
nntp-server-opened-hook, it would have looked for authinfo in the
.netrc file, if challenged?

How do I do that? Create a function that tests the server name before
running nntp-send-authinfo, and put this function into the hook?
(seems clumsy)

Or is there a simpler way?
