Mark,

First, I do not like Billy Gate either.  But I find your insistence that all you have is HOTMAIL for your email facilities a bit disingenuous.

Your message header indicates you are getting to the WEB through Southwest Bell, a division of AT&T Internet services.  If that is correct, then you have the ability to have a normal Email service account through AT&T.

So my question is why are you restricting yourself to such limited means as WEB mail ?  Particularly when better processes are available no matter how F-upped Billy G and Microsoft are.

Words wrap at the right margin.  When you get to the end of a paragraph you press RETURN to start a new paragraph and RETURN RETURN to start a new paragraph with a blank line between them.  This is the way every web form works.  And it is the way Hotmail has worked for the last 10+ years.

Besides requiring three times as many clicks to log in,  many features either do not work or mess up.  The paragraph/RETURN thing is just one.  Sometimes you get your paragraph/spacing,  other times you don't.  Sometimes a button works,  sometimes it don't.  Sometimes you can log in,  sometimes you don't.  Sometimes it locks up,  sometimes it don't.  This occurs with both Firefox and Safari.  I don't use Internet Exploder.  I doubt that problems that are as apparent as these would have gone unnoticed and unfixed...  I can only assume the Microsoft has yet again intentionally hobbled a product so that it does not work with competitors products/browsers.  Luckily Hotmail is the sole Microsoft product that I have to use.
