Ok I've patched my squid source with this patch (and others of Henriks) and
it built ok, and now the request seems to nearly work. I'm having this
message show up in my access.log:

926822872.648 554 192.168.168.18 TCP_MISS/400 777 PROPFIND
http://services.ms
n.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp - DEFAULT_PARENT/proxy1.mel.mira.net text/html

I'm then presented with a message in OE5:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol:
HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Bad Request', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC31

Nothing shows up in my cache.log though...

Ok as above. I don't normally use OE5 either, but I get frequently asked
why OE5/Hotmail won't work as part of my job and haven't until recently
been able to explain why...
