+<h2><a name="S7">S7. How can I use fetchmail with Hotmail?</a></h2>
+
+You can't, yet. But the fetchmail contrib directory contains a script
+called `hotmole' that can retrieve Hotmail mail via the web using

+this kind of access.<p>

+<h2><a name="S8">S8. How can I use fetchmail with MSN?</a></h2>
+
+You can't. MSN uses something that looks like POP3, except the
+authentication part is nonstandard. And of course they don't
+document it, so nobody but their Windows clients can speak it.<p>

+only appropriate response.<p>
