The users that have commented on that thread seem to be confused about what Microsoft is recommending. The MS recommendation was to download and install Windows Live Mail, which is the desktop client for Hotmail. There's nothing else to sign up for and it's not an "enhancment", it's simply a desktop client that's been around for awhile. It's quite good, too.

The desktop client *IS* the solution that MS recommended in the thread being referred. At least temporarily until they fix the web client. Photo attach works great in the desktop client.

Again, nothing new to sign up for. Just install the desktop client and you have access to all of your email, contacts, and calendar in your existing hotmail account. I use the desktop client on all of my PC's and only use the web interface when I'm on someone else's PC or a kiosk.

My solution is to use the skydrive features, upload the photos to that into an album and send a link to the album. My guess is that it takes a lot less bandwidth at the MS server level. Give it a shot...not a bad alternative.
