Correct. On a new install without any accounts, I was unable to add an
anonymous NNTP account. It keeps on prompting for a password, since
the user field in the camel-url is "" and the nntp provider checks if
user != NULL before prompting for a password.

Fair enough.. guess then the nntp provider needs patching to allow for
user = "".
