Subscribing to Password-Protected Feeds
There is a simple url trick that can be used to subscribe to password-protected feeds. I found the direction son http://manila.userland.com/passwordProtectedRss

To subscribe to a password-protected RSS feed in Radio UserLand or NetNewsWire, use the following format for the RSS URL:
http://[username]:[password]@[domain]/[path]
For example, if the RSS feed is here:
http://www.example.com/xml/rss.xml
...and your username/password is me@foo.com, and xYz, then use this URL to subscribe to the feed:
http://me%40foo.com:xYz@www.example.com/xml/rss.xml
Note that the '@' character in the username must be replaced with %40 (the URL-encoding for the '@' character). This is important for Manila sites, since members use their email addresses as their logins, and email addresses contain '@' characters.
Make sure that when using this URL format, that you replace the '@' character in your email address with %40.

I hope this helps everyone that has been asking for this feature.
