Created account for newsgroup. When first time I tried to read messages, user ID
and password were requested. I provided a wrong password. Client hanged. 
("application does not response" in PM). I tried several times with different
but incorrect passwords and got the same result. Of course as soon as I entered
correct password, client loaded messages headers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create newsgroup account that requires password
2. Select subscribe option
3. Enter user ID (check Save box)
4. Enter wrong password (check Save box)
5. Message box  "A News(NNTP) error occured: no permission" comes up
6. Press OK button .
Actual Results:  
Application hangs

Expected Results:  
At least close message box
