Hotmail does put renewal messages in the junk folder, where they disappear after a week. I reported this a few weeks back. Now I discovered if you send a password to a hotmail account this happens too. It took me three hours of waiting, full of not so nice thoughts about Tucows, before I noticed it was long there in the junk. So "password" also activates a spam filter? "Your order" would also qualify. Soon it is impossible to send an email to your wife, saying: "When did we last have sex? Shall we have dinner out? Wear the black silk dress, please."
