Uhm, why not flag suspect messages with a special header, then switch to a
better windows mail client (you're presently using OutBreak Express, which
isn't good news). You can easily set up some mail clients - such as Eudora
- to fetch message headers, then, based on a flag you define in the
headers, download just those which don't have this "suspect" header.
X-DAYKIN-STATUS: SUSPECT or something like that. You just see headers on
the suspect messages, but can flag them for retrieval from right in the
same interface you do regular mail in.
Then, all your mail is in one interface - much more streamlined.
I'd go bonkers if I had to go to hotmail to check my regular mailbox for
possibly errant filterings of messages.
to a list by known people. As I see people in my hotmail account which are
legitimate they will be added to my list.
As has been mentioned in this thread, it would be possible to have a
submission process (which you'd probably not make public) - so when you
spot a message that is being filtered, you merely send yourself a special
message, and that address is greenlisted. No need to shell in and edit stuff.

Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list.
