#4 address over certain length fails
It appears that a hotmail address over a certain length
fails to log in.
In version 0.4, one of my users was able to log in to her
account (strangerthanfriction@hotmail.com) using
just "strangerthanfriction".
In version 0.5.2, I get this:
-ERR username invalid, specify your full address, e.g.
strangerthanfriction@hotmail.com
However, if I specify the full form of that address, I am
denied login. Shorter addresses which I have tested
work just fine -- it's something about the length of the
address that is causing this problem.
As a temporary solution, I have reverted to 0.4.

This problem has occured because we modified the code so
that you can login with either @msn.com or @hotmail.com
accounts. Unfortunately it seems that long user names with
the @hotmail.com don't work if we send @hotmail.com along
with the username to the hotmail servers, but the @msn.com
must always be there. I've written a patch to 0.5.2 and
attached it here which should fix this problem, can you test
it out please. Just copy the username_fix.patch into your
unpacked hotway source directory and run the following
command to patch the sources:
patch -p1 < username_fix.patch
Tell me how you go. Thanks, Dave.

of the next release package. Thanks for the bug report and
verification of solution.
