Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx> added the comment:

There's one more issue Julien has raised: nntplib attempts to authenticate when 
"AUTHINFO" is sent w/o USER. (haven't tested it but I presume it's still valid)

It's trivial to catch that but I'd say that it's fine to let the server handle 
it if the user has specifically told us to authenticate by giving credentials – 
no? Maybe if dealing with not-entirely-rfc-compliant servers?

I will look into the READER/MODE-READER part.
