[ale] hotmail on Linux

[Tom & JaVonn]

Vernard & Kevin:

When she had this issue with Mozilla, I asked her to try Konqueror --- it had the some problem.  I'll have to see what version each browser is, though I installed from Mepis 10.02 so they're quite recent.

Yes, ditching hotmail would be great, but it's what she uses for business (!).

Thanks,
Tom
