Not sure what happen with Hotmail this morning but when I attempted to send a message earlier today, I received the following captcha authentication request. Once I entered the requested word, I was taken back to my message and this time when I hit submit the message was sent without a problem. I tried to replicate the scenario without success so I am not sure what is going on with Hotmail and what they are up to now but I figure I would make a note of the event.
