Split out from bug 207670 and refiled at Remy's request.

Steps To Reproduce:

The bug occurs about 25% of the time when logging in to MSN and depends on the MSG sent by the MSN switchboard when logging in. The easiest way to repeat it is to split out NotificationSession.read() event parsing code into a seperate method and get the method to parse the following input string:

MSG Hotmail Hotmail 289
Content-Type:text/x-msmsgsinitialmdatanotification;charset=UTF-8 
                                          
Mail-Data:<MD><E><I>0</I><IU>0</IU><O>0</O><OU>0</OU></E><Q><QTM>409600</QTM><QNM>204800</QNM></Q></MD

More information:

The error occurs because the event parser in
NotificationSession.read() does not recognise incoming MSG packets and picks up the NLN on the last line of the login response from the MSN server.

The problem is more general in that the current implementation of the event parser in NotificationSession.read() will trigger on any embedded string that look like MSN commands in a MSG body (or in any otherwise unprocessed MSN command).
