User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

When using a news server that limits maximal simultaneous connections there's a problem when fast reading headlines with the "N" or "T" shortcut. It seems to be opening up a connection for each message scanned, and there seems to have no option to limit the max number of connection in the preferences. As a result it fails any further access to the news server for quite a long time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.connect to a news server that limit connections, like news.individual.net
2.find a channel that has lots of unread messages
3.press, and keep presses "N"
4.the connection will fail, sayng there are too many open connections

Actual Results:  
Conection refused, too many connections

Expected Results:  
Marking message as read and going to next unread message
