Does pine 3.95 currently support news authentication?  And if not, is this
an upcoming feature?

Thanks...
Tim

Yes, Pine 3.95 does support "Authinfo" authentication to News Servers.  It
works for those servers that allow you to read freely but not post until
you've authenticated, and also for those that require yo uto authenticate
before even allowing you to read (eg, INN 1.4unoff3 onwards).

Cheers,
