If you have a proxy set, REBOL will go through it by default. You can
make a list of bypass machines like this:
system/schemes/default/proxy/bypass: ["center.uniba.sk"]
That should bypass the proxy when it connects to your mail server.

I thikn that info for WinNT may have been missing the --cgi part in
the line 'c:\path\to\rebol.exe --cgi %s %s'. There should be a --cgi

We don't yet support using FTP proxies. The problem is that many (if
not all, I don't know) FTP proxies return HTML rather than normal FTP
responses. This causes us a problem for parsing that HTML since it
can be totally different for each proxy.

If you don't get the content-length or don't trust the webserver to
always give it to you, you'll have to read in blocks of data, search
them for the section breaks, and save the parts you want... a little
uglier but still not too hard.
