[CUBE] OT: Safari (hotmail bites)

[john breedlove]

This was total crap.  Pissed me off too.  Once I got the login to work 
in this roundabout fashion, it began to work the way it should.  I 
can't figure out why.  Its not the first time a idiosyncratic 
implementation of web standards creates a problem, for Mail I have 
noticed similar problems.  Similar in that I suspect the problem is 
intentional.  AOL and Hotmail recipients can't get attachments (even if 
the files are small enough).  That is basically the only reason I still 
have a Hotmail account, so I can get graphics files to clients.

BTW how do you get that little picture in the upper right hand corner 
of your emails?
