Yes, you're right. I meant to say that AUTHINFO is not expecting a UTF-8-encoded string. For instance: AUTHINFO USER Éric is valid and should not always be transformed by nntplib to: AUTHINFO USER Ã‰ric News servers do a byte-string comparison (as specified in RFC 4643). So if « Éric » is the expected user name, then it is this very name that is expected!
