I will only add that lines are appended at the bottom of Hotmail E-mail
messages.

not just hotmail - can't think of a free mail service that doesn't

They will make it difficult to ignore the source of the E-mail
and definitely distract the receiver of the message.

indeed

People who do not have strong feelings involving Microsoft can tolerate the
source,

which is most of the on-line world - very few outside a few fanatics care about Microsoft in the way implied. There's probably more that get upset by BP or Exxon than Microsoft.


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.

With respect, I have to disagree. Using any widely known free mail service creates entirely the wrong impression in a commercial transaction.


exceptions are few and include the online identity of individuals. so for example if I were buying something from you personally (as opposed to any business you may be running) then I wouldn't be surprised to be receiving mail from roy@hotmail.com
