(Keywords: qawanted, Whiteboard: [needs specific NNTP server repro])

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 Build Identifier: 3.0.4 If you subscribe to a news server that allows anonymous access, however there are individual groups that are secured with a separate username and password, you do not have the ability to enter the credentials for these groups, and thus access is denied. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Thunderbird 3.0.4 2.Subscribe to open access newserver, browse and confirm access 3.Attempt to subscribe to groups on that same server that require a separate username and password. You will be prompted for a password, but not a username. Since only one part of the credential is correct, you will be denied access. Actual Results: Unable to subscribe to required newsgroups Expected Results: Should either have a place to enter the credentials for the group, or prompted for the username/password
