Microsoft don't approve of third party clients, except for a very small 
number of named, closed source, ones, and no longer make information 
about protocol changes available to open source authors.  That means 
that all changes have to be reverse engineered from what goes over the wire.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
