I agree Phil.
You need an ISP to connect to the Internet, so everyone should have an ISP
account.
I know Hotmail scans incoming messages for vir*ses, but even still, this I
believe will allow their users
to be too confident and open one of the newest infections, before Hotmail
updates it's system.
It has gotten so cheap to register a domain name and many places that will host
it for free...you don't
even have to use the website, just use it for email that YOU can configure.
For less than $20 a year, you can have several email accounts.
Any business that uses a Hotmail or Yahoo account, I frown upon...no matter
what they are selling.
I am curious why people aren't using their ISP accounts.

Well, I'm not trying to be rude, but these free-mail accounts are OK for
playing, but what shop cannot afford a "real" ISP based email acct.?
What's the damage? twenty bucks a month?
If I didn't use Road Runner cable wide band, I would at least use a
legit isp mail service that can screen most of the dreg before it hits
me, or others associated with my daily work. Road Runner is always
sending me a mail alert that they stopped, or filtered a virus from the
email I got. Well worth it. If an on line store or DVD ordering site
needs to confirm via email, give them a Hotmail, or Juno addy.
For your "bread and butter", use something better.
my two cents, hope i didn't ruffle anyones feathers.
