What's the deal with hotmail? I can't seem to forward emails that have attachments and I can't seem to create text hyperlinks?

Whenever I get an email with an attachment it won't forward the attachment.

Also, I can receive emails with text hyperlinks but I can't seem to forward or create them?

Is this common with all web based email?

Thanks!

Why do so many people use hotmail or any free email services? Is it too hard for people to set up a real mail client? I have always wondered that.

Yahoo and Hotmail now totally suck, cuz they are stopping many previously free services, and deleting your saved messages after 30 days.
And just try and find a real email link to bitch them out (as if they care)

the only reason i have a web based email account is so that I can check my email from anywhere...is that always possible with an email client?

Thanks.

I hate how most attachments come as .email files. I have no clue how to view those.
