I once got several copies of a gigantic multi-megabyte spam from someone
with a Hotmail address. I mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the offending
email as an attachment. I got a reply saying that I should quote the
headers in my message. When I commented that I'd sent the whole of the
email to them, I was told that Hotmail staff can't open attachments
"for security reasons".

I don't see why she'd use Webmail anyway. She says it's "easier", but
she's never actually tried to use a proper mail client. Similarly, it's
"easier" to use a handful of different IM clients than to use one of
the unified clients like Jabber or Trillian. It's enough to make me
despair.
