Most people here (and me in particular) *hate* HTML mail. First, I don't see
why HTML mail is at all useful. Second, HTML mail is used by spammers because
it's easier for them to implement web-bugs with it (i.e., the HTML mail
references an image on their server, so that the spammer knows when you've
read their email). Third, my mailer doesn't show me HTML mail (hint: my
mailer isn't Netscape) - I could probably fix that but I don't want that.

So, please configure your hotmail account to send text-only messages. Hotmail
has such a configuration paramter, so you're wrong that "hotmail only
support HTML mail".
