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.
