Apparently Microshaft has blocked Linux users from using Hotmail. I

editions even with the User Agent Switcher on Explorer 7 (Vista)
emulation. Not that I don't have other email accounts, just thought it
was pretty fucked up of them with being buddies with Novell.



Just figured the work around to this over in the Ubuntu newsgroup:

Bring up firefox
type "about:config" in url bar
search for "general.useragent.vendor" change the string to "firefox"
(it will probably be set at your distribution's name)

I ran into the same problem using my (K)ubuntu systems and applying
this fixed cured the inability to enter in new emails etc. :-)


Nope. Still can't reply or compose email in hotmail. I guess I can close
that Microshaft account and be done with them forever.

I posted to the other string but my Suse 10.3 is using FF 3.0.4 and that
works 100%, enters text in the message area and no version warning
screen. My Suse 11.0 is using FF 3.0.3 and that can't enter message text
in Hotmail.
