I can confirm this bug. The bug even not only occurs when replaying to a
message, but also when making a new message.

Changing general.useragent.vendor from Ubuntu to Firefox solves the
problem indeed. Unfortunately this isn't very user friendly and now the
vendor is changed on every site that is visited. An add-on which would
change the useragent only for Windows Live Hotmail would be a better
solution. The perfect solution would be that Microsoft has a correct
detection, like on eg. http://www.useragentstring.com .

Changing from Windows Live Hotmail to another mailaccount isn't always
what people want. Although I don't use it, I know at least two people
who frequently use it.

Keep in mind that everyone who installs/uses Ubuntu and uses Windows
Live Hotmail is confronted with a bug of which the solution isn't easy
to find. Especially when they aren't very technical.

How come the bug didn't occured with Firefox 3.0.2? Was there another
general.useragent.vendor-string?
