I admit I didn't dig into the Firefox issue - so maybe I'll get back to
that. That's probably my prejudice against Firefox, which I've just never
liked :-)

Yes, I have exactly the same situation - I use MSN via kopete for work, too,
but I don't actually give people that address!  She's _got_ a gmail address
that's autoforwarded to the hotmail one, but you can't forward hotmail
(unless it's available for a price - something else I should check).

Mine plays bridge - using two programs that work perfectly well under
Wine :-(
