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.

Just a nitpick design note: don't you think :wmtype keyword should be
just :type? It is parsed in the context of `webmail' list, so there
can be no namespace collision. Besides, it is not consistent with
:user (:wmuser?) and :password.

The `webmail' is the type, `wmtype' is a kind of subtype. Maybe I
should use :subtype.

Obviously, webmail is the type of a mail source, but in the context of
its proplist, isn't using `:type' quite non-ambiguous? Anyway,
:subtype is just as fine. It was a nitpick remark anyway. :-)

Now it supports mail.yahoo.com. Using `:subtype' instead of `:wmtype'.
