i got this in an email fowarded from a mate. I assumes it was junk but tried it anywa. Its HONESTLY not.

Hi everyone - Have you all been receiving a lot of junkmail lately?
This might be the reason why...

Did you know that about 2 months ago MSN added 2 little boxes in all
the profiles? These boxes, if marked share your email with other
users. One box, if ticked, gives other people the right to see your
information including your address. Now MSN has taken all the
passports that were created before they added this and marked YES
SHARE MY INFORMATION and did not tell anyone. (!!!!)

HOW to remove your name: sign into your email account (for those
with more then 1 you have to do it for all of them), click on
Options then Personal Profile and scroll to the bottom ... u will
see the TWO added boxes - remove the check marks and finish up. PLZ
FWD this to everyone who has hotmail - lets not wait until it is too
late (this may decrease all that junk mail that seems to have
doubled lately). CHECK it out. It's true.


The 2 boxes mentioned allow microsoft to share your details (address etc)with other companies and give youe email address to other people.

go uncheck the boxes unless you havn't already.

Thanks!
Thank you for dealing with this so promptly it's nice having a service provider that offers a good service, rare to find nowadays.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
