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. Dave J.
