Dealing with the new list management from MSN

Has either of you looked into the problems with handling the LST command from MSN? It now sends varying size @data lists which cause syntax errors in the current MSN.pm. In addition, the FL list is either not being populated or is being populated incorrectly so that I don't get user status notifications.

I worked on it for a while yesterday but got frustrated and gave up.

according to duncan the bitmask is always the last element for SYN, which will need fixed too, i havnt looked into it yet, or anything else for that matter. I thought I saw a post by eric saying he was working on something tho?

I've got the code fixed, of course its in my MSN.pm at home. Basicaly MSN started varying the number of things it sends with the list. The things it sends are all prefixed with (a-z)=(value). N = email, F = email address, dunno about any more. The last value is always the bitmask. I'll post the code when i get home later.

Yeah, I've gotten that far too, but status notifications still don't come in despite the fact that users are on my FL list.

Can you check your code at home and see if you get user status updates?
