You know, the one when you click on links within your emails... it opens up a page, with the "You are visiting a site outside of Hotmail. To return to Hotmail, close this browser window. " message up on the top. That normally doesn't piss me off, but happens (since I can recall about a year back now)... it messes up your cookies and logins if that page you were trying to go to is some kind of form. Cookies don't get set correctly and it's practically useless.

The only way around it is not to even click the link in the email, but rather cut and paste into a new window you open up yourself.

How FUGGIN annoying. I really do hate complaining about free services, but this just takes the cake and has bothered me to no end.

Are they even aware of this problem ? I tried sending them feedback about this in the past with no response. Did any of you know about this issue ?

It's been worth it for me to go with 3-95.com for mail. don't need it always but for the occasional large file it's nice.
