Hi,

Have you read that the millions of folks using Hotmail now have to pay
to keep it?

Not exactly correct.

You can no longer use Outlook Express to access a free Hotmail account.
You can, however, use OE to access a paid account.

Still a bummer.

Hmm, mine's still working.

You must be a MSN subscriber or sumpthin'

Direct from Microsoft:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?L2B715A99

To protect our users from the increasing amount of unsolicited junk e-mail
or spam sent from MSN Hotmail accounts through Outlook and Outlook Express,
we have reluctantly had to restrict the new use of Outlook and Outlook
Express to subscribers.

By making this feature part of a subscription, (which requires a user to
provide billing information), we can more effectively manage and put a stop
to abuse of this functionality, and help protect you and others from
unsolicited mail.

If you purchase a subscription service such as MSN Hotmail Plus or MSN
Premium, you get access to your account from Outlook or Outlook Express,
along with many other added features. To see other benefits of upgrading
your MSN Hotmail or MSN accounts or to create a new subscription account
please visit our subscription information page.
