Problem with encoding/header info imbedded into emails between hotmail.com accounts using Live Mail Desktop client


I have a problem when using the Windows Live Mail Desktop client...
it appears that when I send a new, or reply to an email, to a Hotmail.com
account,
it imbeds encoding/header info in the email. Recipients have complained
what is this junk I am sending in the email.. I have no idea as to how to
remove it. If I send a new email/reply to a non-hotmail.com account, it is
processed normally! Is there an issue with Windows Live Mail Desktop
client when interfacing with hotmail.com service?

The hotmail Server URL is
http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaS....0.0/sync.aspx
I am running on Vista Ultimate x64.

Here is problem information, originally reported in
MSFT.public.windows.vista.mail

Any ideas? ...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

Re: Problem with encoding/header info imbedded into emails between hotmail.com accounts using Live Mail Desktop client

Grant...
No suggestions apparently at this time...beyond what Gary M has already covered in the Vista Newsgroup(contact Hotmail support) or
the duplicate post in Msn Public and here.
