Unfortunately the currently available patch solves only a part of the
problem so currently squid cannot work with Outlook Express 5.

This is a GREAT problem expecially for all the people using squid with
trasparent proxy!

And Microsoft doesn't help to avoid the problem because it uses a miriad
of OE5's mail servers, from many different networks.

I'd like to know if any of the squid developers is currently working to
solve this problem, or if I have to find some other solution...
