Hotmail Delivers Far Fewer Emails with Attachments

biednyFacet writes "It has long been suspected that there is a silent policy that makes Hotmail automatically delete the majority of attachments to save on bandwidth and internal disk space. Therefore it really doesn't matter if every client has access to 2GB of storage since they don't deliver the attachments to fill that space up anyway. If that truly is the case, then Microsoft may be liable for several hundred million cases of conspiracy and mail fraud."

2 million users for 10 years.

That's 10 * 3 * 52 * 2,000,000 * 10 = 31,200,000,000 ad impressions.

You're very good at math, bravo! This means a whole dollar and a half for each year you spent using Hotmail. I'm salivating at the prospect of this refund already. There should be plenty inside to cover the fees of my lawyer too.

Not only mail fraud and conspiracy - don't forget kidnapping (if the attachments were ever sentient) and probably murder (same)
... none of this would happen if it was still running on Sun.
