Well basically I did a hotmail 'reader' (basic core, just pick out the messages waiting and possibility do download them) in python, would have done it in elisp if I knew the language. I am looking into posting on hotmail too, doesn't seem too complex, well it would be nice to be able to do stuff like this from inside Gnus. Would it be possible to have a backend that can execute an external (to gnus) program/lisp code when getting articles and posting? Communications with gnus probably only needs to be sending standard mail format both ways?? This would be a nice function to hook onto companies internal communication systems and so on. Maybe even some API callable through gnuserv or similar?? Just spawning... /andy
