The way I see it, you get what you pay for.  If you don't like it, you
gotta pay for it; only then should you have a right to complain.  As the
story stated:

"Other companies besides Hotmail also may be blocking outgoing mail, but
because they don=92t always notify customers, it=92s difficult to determi=
ne
whether it=92s happening unless someone complains."

I certainly wouldn't use a free email account for my daily email.  Free
email is a means of obtaining anonymity when you sign up for stuff.  (Or =
a
way to play out delusions of grandure with multiple personalities, in the
case of one of our community members.)  In this way, it acts as a filter
for your real email.

But that's just my opinion...  YMMV

Quite convenient and no worry's about formatting or 'reply-to:' settings,
etc.
