Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187406

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b; MultiZilla v1.4.0.4A) Gecko/20030719

The news server access prompt should tell you for which server it is requesting
user/pass. One way would be to display the server's name somewhere in the
contents ; the account name would be OK as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a newsgroup account for a server with authentication (user/pass)
2. The first time you connect, you're prompted for user/pass
3. Look at that prompt.

Actual Results:  
You don't know for which news account you should enter user/pass

Expected Results:  
The news server's name (or account name) should be shown.

This is particularly of interest when you have set up multiple news accounts and
that prompt appears out of 'nowhere', let's say at MailNews startup.
