I tried to look through the code from CVS to see if I could spot 
anything, but it has been some time since I worked with C/C++. I found 
the routine I believe the message to result from ( msn_https_cb1(int, 
int, void *) in modules/msn2/libmns2/msn_core.C ), and a test looking 
for the strings "BrowserTest" or "MSPPost", but when I compared that to 
the content of the answer displayed by the debugging statement 
immediately preceeding it, the closest thing I could find was a hidden 
form input in the content whose name is "mspppostint", whose value was a 
string of 540 characters. Is that the value it should be looking for?

With regards to the comment about the impact on Kopete as well, I looked 
on Kopete's webpage, and there was an announcement of a fix that had 
been posted to their code yesterday (20 May). I searched through their 
bug listing system for MSN bugs fixed within the last 14 days, and it 
appears to be listed under bug 105929 ( 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105929 ). I tried reading the patch 
to see if I could adapt it to the ayttm code, but I could barely make 
teads or hails of how to begin.

Crunches on your time are understandable-we all have them from time to 
time. The time and effort you have put into the project are greatly 
appreciated.

Sincerely,
Albert C.
