Feedback. Saved for when it's motherfucking working.
I notice that links that come in my e-mail are mangled.
Specifically, when I get an e-mail from, say, ParentCenter, and they have a link that I should be able to click on and get their page, when I click on it, it opens in a new window, and it has a "helpful" Microsoft advisory that I am visiting a page outside of Hotmail, and I should close this window to return. The URL of the link looks nastily mangled, and if I wanted to save that URL for later, without saving the message, I had better hope that the sender had put the link plain-text (http://www.link.com) versus like this: (Link).
The links also expire when they're helpfully mangled by your service. I understand that this is for security. I don't need or want this.
I would like an option to turn Hotmail's mangling of my links OFF. Open in new window, fine. Have a "helpful" message at the top that I can't get rid of, not fine. Make it so I can't save the *#@*$&% links coming to me in my own e-mail in an unmangled form by right-clicking and selecting "copy shortcut", not fine.

If so, you can set it to check your hotmail...
just fyi in case

If the world hated me, and made me use hotmail, I'd use that to pick my email up (I'd have that running, and fetchmail would connect to it, and it'd just be another cog in my email machine of DOOM).

We'll see.
