Hotmail Fails To Deliver Up To 81% Of All Attachment Emails
If you use Hotmail, and you suspect that you haven’t been receiving e-mails (or, that people haven’t been receiving e-mails you sent) then maybe you aren’t just crazy.. Maybe Microsoft is actually deleting your e-mails (that contain attachments) to save disk space and bandwidth!
