Microsoft censors your messages

| The reason MSN gives for this censorship is that it's to protect users from
| exploits that use certain URLs. The problem with this reason is that any URL
| could be an exploit URL; filtering by keyword just isn't enough, because the
| attackers can always invent new filenames. The correct solution is simply to
| fix the exploits.

| The final results bore out the "conventional wisdom." If emails were donuts,
| Hotmail would be HomerSimpsonMail. I don't need to reiterate the figures,
| there they are in blue and red. But for a Hotmail account to destroy up to
| 81% of all emails with attachments prior to their delivery to a "generic" ISP
| email account is nothing short of absurd, as these Hotmail accounts were not
| the free variety, but the fully paid ones. Compare those figures to the ones
| where the generic ISP email accounts exchanged emails with attachments and
| you will clearly see the difference. The worst performance was in making 2%

| In China, it would take about one and one-half years wages (for the
