No hint of what the cause really was, however...

Thanks, Peter,
I didn't realize that. I know with my last e-mail provider, they'd bounce if I got full. Which only happened once, when I got spammed with about 23,000 e-mails.
Nice to know that hotmail won't bounce things. Plus, it does explain why I'm seeing so many replies this morning, with no initial post. OTOH, that happens from time to time with my hotmail - having e-mails go missing (ie: never received). It is a microsoft product, after all... <g>
I guess I can't complain, for the price I'm paying. <vbg>
cheers, frank

Frank, In my experience Hotmail doesn't bounce mail. If your mailbox fills up it just eats it and no one's the wiser. It is a microsoft product after all.

Hotmail's been down all day (at least around these parts).
But, that's not why I'm sending this. Someone sent me an e-mail with a 1 meg attachment, which filled my inbox (which I couldn't clear out, as Hotmail's been down). So, I've probably been bouncing e-mails all day, so I just want to check to see if I'm unsubbed yet...
