Update to the MSN contact grabbing script

There have been a handful of people contact me recently stating that the MSNM contact fetching script doesn't work, or works poorly, with email addresses other than @hotmail.com. Addresses ending in @hotmail.co.uk, @hotmail.fr or none hotmail addresses were hanging and not returning results.

Obviously not good so after a disappointingly long wait I was able to devote some time to fixing the problem. Last weekend I was able to put something together which I think was going to work and sent it out to a few people to beta test.

Over the past few days I've been getting back responses (thanks to all those involved!) and for the most part the responses have been positive. It still isn't 100% but it's much better. The remaining problems are a result of taking someone else's code and twisting it to suit a new purpose. I would have been far better figuring out how it did what it did and then refactoring it to meet the new aims.

The new and improved script can be downloaded from the original thread or from the MSN contact grab page in the new scripts section.

The web service has been updated to reflect the changes.
