 Ever since MSN updated their mail system for hotmail around the first week
 of August, the link off Pidgin's email notice no longer opens the Mail Box
 within a browser. Particularly Internet Explorer under XP SP2 stalls and
 fails to load, I am not interfacing with Firefox at this time. After
 closing the browser, and manually accessing from the "open Hotmail inbox"
 drop down menu within Pidgin 2.4.3, this allows access, but one still has
 to manually enter a password despite selecting recall login/password each
 time. I suppost since the linking from Pidgin is no longer correct, it
 somehow causes the cookie for Hotmail to fail? I lack a full understanding
 of what causes the problem, but know that since the MSN update, Pidgin no
 longer interacts properly.
