She's from Venus. What do you expect?

How do they do that again? Where's that option on the Hotmail screen?

Not only can you cut and paste (at least using Windows Live Hotmail), on the
main email mgmt screen there's an Options button. Click it, then choose
Export Contacts and another screen comes up that says:
"You can export your contacts to a CSV file format. This allows you to save
them to your computer or transfer them to other e-mail services."
Click the button and it generates a .csv file of all your contacts and all
the data fields:

Obviously you're wrong, like all "advocates" are when they blame MS every
time they stub their toe.
