When I connect to news.verizon.net, one prompt asks me for a username, and
another prompt asks me for a password. None of these prompts tells me which
news server needs a username and password.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mail/News for first time in a session
2. Click on root branch of account tree for news server
3. Dialog boxes come up that ask for username and password
Actual Results:
Dialog boxes do not say which server wants this information.
Expected Results:
Dialog boxes should in some way identify which news server is asking for
username and password.
This could be a potential security hole, since one might be sending the wrong
username/password combo to a different server. An unscrupulous admin could log
involid logins and try them on a more well-known server.
