force_authentication
--------------------

   Type: integer
   Default: 0

   By default, slrn only sends authentication data if the server requests
   it. Although this conforms to RFC 2980, in practice you need to
   volunteer authentication to some servers. This behaviour can be turned
   on by setting this variable to a non-zero value.

   Note: This variable is needed with servers that allow you to read, but
   not to post without a password (it seems the author of RFC 2980 did
   not take this situation into account).

   Note: If you need to set this variable on a per-server basis, use a
   startup_hook():

Example:

define startup_hook()
  {
    !if (strcmp (server_name(), "needs.password.com"))
       set_integer_variable("force_authentication", 1);
  }
