:Microsoft Breaks HotMail for Linux Users?
Microsoft Breaks HotMail for Linux Users?
Nov 8, 2008, 18 :02 UTC (23 Talkback[s]) (10918 reads)

(Other stories by Henry Kingman)

"Bolling wries, "I have been a Hotmail user since before it was bought by Microsoft. I guess I still use it because I have used it for so long, even though I mostly run Linux. Imagine my surprise when after an "upgrade" of Hotmail that happened over the weekend I can no longer send email from any Linux client.""

"Bolling says that when attempting to use Linux and Firefox to access HotMail, he is unable to put text into the subject or message fields, and that the text is cleared from forwarded messages. He explains, "So, to be technical, I found I can still send BLANK emails, but nothing new.""
