<snip> If it were true that that Micro$oft were involved with protecting US "national security" interests, then why haven't they fixed the security problems with Hotmail? US military personnel are frequently not allowed to access Hotmail while aboard ship and while visiting libraries located on military installations where there are internet work stations available for their use. They are however allowed to access alternative web mail services. Military authorities say that there are some very serious security issues with using Hotmail. They say that military computers which allow Hotmail access must be set up in some special way so as to disable many of the so-called "features" of Window$. Hotmail access is allowed only at special times, and only on those computers where the "features" have been temporily disabled by especially trained computer security personnel. I don't know what they do to disable the features and I don't know which particular features need to be disabled. Of course for my own personal computer I have disabled ALL of the features of Window$ simply by running DELTREE C:\WINDOWS Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser: http://browser.arachne.cz/
