RE: [gotmail] Ok, here's another one

[v. vergu]

Hey,
I can be your guinea pig aswell. Especially because last version you John
made still doesn't work for me. Just as other people are saying..:
Hotmail's page structure has changed! (inboxloc)

Hey folks,

   Sorry for my apparent absence today, after being so involved yesterday.
 Amazing how many things can go wrong on a network in a single morning
:)  Guess I don't have to tell that to the good folks at Savannah.

   Congrats to you John, as the version you sent works admirably in my
setup.  I didn't get a chance to test it until just a few minutes ago.
I was almost hoping it wouldn't work for me, exhibiting the same errors
as for the other fine folks who have reported it.  Unfortunately, I
can't see any reason for the error either.

   I am still concerned about the "member services" e-mails, as they were
definitely causing gotmail to die on my system, because no "<pre>" tag
could be found in the whole e-mail.

   I did notice one more thing worth mentioning.  In the e-mails that
don't appear to have "<pre>" tags, which I think are probably all HTML
formatted messages, Hotmail appears to be using a Style sheet with the
"PRE" directive as part of the style.  At least this "pre" keyword can
be found, but I don't believe the same split routines we're using now
will work.  I'll continue to look at this, and try to find something
more concrete.

Cheers,

...Steve...
