Fred,
I'm Cc'ing my reply to the list. I'm sure others will have more to say,
but if you read the rejection message from the SPAM filter carefully, it
will say that this list rejects HTML email. So, set your mailer to send
plain text mail. Before you ask, I don't know how to do this for Hotmail,
but I know it's possible as there are other posters on this list with
Hotmail addresses.
Also, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTWLL> before posting, and it's not
a good idea to put raw email addresses in your emails (especially someone
else's addresses).
HTH,
Igor
