 Hi,
   Our corporate overlords have set us up a socks proxy to connect Y!mess.
 Unfortunately this proxy only forwards connections on port 5050(80 doesn't
 work). I've been looking in the piding debug log and I saw that even
 though it connects to yahoo servers on 5050 the connection fails because
 it couldn't download the buddy list from the server(in my case the proxy
 doesn't forward this at all). Older versions didn't download the list at
 all so they work(the last one that worked was 2.1.0). Is there a way not
 to make the buddy list download a show stopper?

 Thanks,
 Valentin
