I will only add that lines are appended at the bottom of Hotmail E-mail
messages. They will make it difficult to ignore the source of the E-mail
and definitely distract the receiver of the message.
People who do not have strong feelings involving Microsoft can tolerate the
source, but otherwise you're asking for trouble. GMail would be a safe
compromise as long as the account name is professional and not something
like C00lGurl2000@gmail.com.
