Don't have much choice here, since the only other interfaces to Hotmail are Outlook (blech) and the Web interface (double bletch, and can't save messages locally). And hotmail is the only free email provider that's reasonably stable over years. And a non-free email address can't be risked on usenet or a mailing list, since it can't be thrown away and replaced easily if it gets too much spam or some loser decides to mailbomb it...
