[mohaa] Server "hangs"

[NateDog]

Ok.  What the heck is going on.  Is hotmail screwing up?  My first email has
like quad drupled itself or something.  I swear I didn't do anything.  It
keeps resending to the list.  Microsoft = retarded.  Is there any way some
admin can stop this or whatever?  This is about to start getting on
everyone's nerves.  Sorry peeps I'm not resending it.....must be hotmail
servers or something.
