You would do better to upgrade Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail.
It will automatically import your contacts from Hotmail.

As Gary stated you don’t need to worry about the format for importing your
contacts from hotmail WLM will do it automatically.

Re: how transfer hotmail / windows live contacts to windows mail

Windows Live Mail will automatically import your accounts, settings,
custom folders, and saved emails. You may have to tell it to import
your contacts, but that is easily done.

If it turns out you don't like Windows Live Mail, just uninstall, and
Windows Mail will be back.

Sorry, I don't know about rating responses because I don't use the
web interface to this newsgroup.
