Hi

I'm trying httpmail-0.3 to connect to hotmail. I tried it with 1.66 when
I first knew ruby. Interestingly, this package is my introducer to the
ruby world. At that time I'm looking for a programmatic way to retrieve
hotmail. I found httpmail in sourceforge, and learned that hotmail used
webDAV. After download it, I found there are a ruby subdirectory. Then I
searched google, and start to know ruby :)

Now I encountered a lot of problems to use httpmail in ruby version 1.67,
then I upgrated to v1.73. Still some problem:

1. it reported that mswin32-ruby17.dll could not be found in the
specified path. In fact this file doesn't even exist on my hard disk!

2. 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/xmltree.rb:949: warning: parenthesize argument(s)
for future version
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/i386-mswin32/xmlparser.so: 126: The specified module could
not be found.   - c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/i386-mswin32/xmlparser.so (LoadError)

I don't know if httpmail is still an active project or not?
