For some time now, my 'other' email address - Hotmail - has been playing up. Quite often, people I send an email to don't receive them. I sent an enquiry to their 'Contact Us' facility asking what the problem was - it was ignored! How rude?
Then - out of the blue, and without asking my permission - images I'd posted to my Flickr site suddenly started to appear in a strap across the top of email messages I send. Not very professional especially when sending out a business email.
Come on Hotmail! Don't presume to know best and just do things without first checking whether we - the end user - wants them.
I have now found out how to turn off this "service" - but surely the correct action would have been to ASK first whether this was wanted - and then for the service to be activated - by me - if it was?
Enough of this Big Brother stuff - PLEASE?
If I want to send images to all and sundry - then it has to be MY CHOICE - and not the mighty Microsoft thinking they know best what I want.
There! That's got it off my chest. Well - for the moment!!
