Subject: ANNOUNCE: webmail, a mail source for HoTMaiL
Date: 22 Nov 1999 04:51:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2nhfiedfc3.fsf@tiger.jia.vnet> (raw)

Now gnus can grab mails from HoTMaiL. I've checked it into CVS (0.99).

Usage:
(push '(webmail :wmtype hotmail :user "your_account" 
        :password "top_security") mail-sources)

Known problem: HoTMaiL only accepts one line cookie, while w3
(4.0pre.46) breaks cookie into several lines and is not customizable.
The attached patch works around this problem.
