Hi Michael,
Sounds like <[log in to unmask]> has sold out
his rights to a private e-mail account to <Hotmail.Com>,
in the form of advertising for HotMail.
He probably gets $ 0.01 US for every e-mail note
he sends out to which he's allowing Hotmail to
attach their advertisement.
I've heard of this, but not seen such a dramatic
effect.
Probably a <user> problem.
