Hi,
You could always try soupers authentication method -- souper
does allow authentication for both news and email. The email is
taken from the items in the os/2 internet setup dialog boxes, or
from the command line, or if you want the newsfeed you create a
file called authinfo containing the news server, username and
password.
Hth.
Andrew.
