Huh, IE5 has bogus support for hotmail, because it is owned by micro$oft.
Instead of giving free POP facility, they decided to make their own
protocol, so that only those who use windows and IE5 can avail of this
facility. 

[ lsetia wanna spit on micro$oft; can't find place to spit; oh oh ]

To retort, stop using IE altoghether, if you have to use to use windows,
go for netscape or opera. 

BTW, have you all known by now about the latest microsoft NT IIS
vulnerability, which allows to crash the server, or even execute arbitrary
code. It should be enough for people to stop trusting microsoft now for
atleast sometime. The details should be available on major security
related sites by now.
