Summary: Noffle cannot handle @ in the username

Initial Comment:
My ISP outsources news to Supernews.  My login through
that route is use...@is... and not just
username.  Noffle cannot handle that in the
configuration file.

root@teleute:/etc/news# noffle -q news.foobar.com
Unknown argument -q news.foobar.com
Fetch from 'news.foobar.com'
Connected to 216.168.3.50:119
Fetch from 'news.foobar.com' finished

If I place quotes around the username the quotes are
sent to the remote side.

root@teleute:/etc/news# vim noffle.conf
root@teleute:/etc/news# noffle -q news.foobar.com
Unknown argument -q news.foobar.com
Fetch from 'news.foobar.com'
Connected to 216.168.3.50:119
Password rejected. Server status: 502 no permission (no
match for 'ex...@fo...')
Connection to remote server lost (article numbers could
be inconsistent)
Fetch from 'news.foobar.com' finished
