The following QUESTION was posted to WINDOWS.VISTA.MAIL newsgroup but now
posted here as issue with WINDOWS LIVE MAIL (formerly HOTMAIL) service...
specifically, email servers embed encoding/header information in CONTENT of
email itself... but only when sending/receiving between HOTMAIL accounts.
See comments below for examples. Any idea as to how to remove this?
Something hotmail.com support has to address? ...Grant

Confirmed... problem occurs when sending NEW or REPLY emails to HOTMAIL
recipients... other ISP email addresses work fine... I will follow-up with
Hotmail support... thanks for your help... Grant
