C-x i ~/.authinfo<RET>
machine enews.newsguy.com login myuid password xxxxxxx
machine news.ind.sbclgobal.net login myuid@xxxxx.net password xxxxxxx

The first one for newsguy works as expected.
Sbcglobal requires the full email address including `@'.
I continue to get prompted for both on that server and when entered
at the prompt exactly as in authinfo it works.
