I'm your creativity creator™ :)

That's what I just saw... I'm not really using it, but 500GB sounds a bit much... could this be a bug?
It should have said 0,5 TB Wink

OT1: Actually, it's annoying we're still measuring in bytes and not just bits, the smallest unit of information.

OT2: why does this forum not respect italics when it does so in edit-mode and it clearly has an italics modifier?
@OT1: It sucks! Wink

@OT2: "Chrome support" for italics sucks!

Why do we measure things in miles when we can measure them in inches? Why do we measure with kilometers when we can measure with angstroms? We use the unit of measurement that's most convenient - that translates best to natural numbers that aren't too big or too small. If I had to use a unit of measurement that routinely required me to use numbers in the thousands, I would rather just bump up a metrical scale and use a kilo-unit. Likewise with bytes. We gain nothing by using bits.

Space is cheap, and you won't ever get there. Putting a cap at 500GB is reasonable since hardly anyone will get to 1GB, and disk space is cheap. quotas are annoying.
just that 500GB is hardly required... you could just forward all incoming mail to Outlook Incoming/Personal Folders (through POP3) and enable auto-deletion of all mail forwarded to POP from the Hotmail Inbox

of course you could use all that storage more creatively Smiley

P.S. @Dada, what a good idea to post your email in public forum...

It's an image, though. Are spam harvesters are using OCR to find embedded email addresses now?

It surely depends on the editor in question.

C9 uses the Telerik Rad-AJAX Editor (apparently, the 2008-Q2 release) and it appears that when editing with Google-Chrome, the editor is using CSS mode by default... inserting font-style:italic   and  font-weight:bold    instead of <em> and <strong>

I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue, and I think that there is a config setting for this rendering, but I'm not keen enough to research that one.
I tend to agree - although reality may change once that happens - like people using their accounts for sliced file storage.
Well, you don't say "several thousands of bits", you say "several kilobits", don't you? So what we say now is "several thousands of eights of bits", in a way. Two levels of indirection buys you nothing but conformity to convention.

I guess this is something to do with Hotmails new "grows with you" storage philosophy.

We also say "miles" rather than "kiloinches". As you said, it's convention. I still don't see the advantage of abandoning it. 
Language is here to serve our needs as speakers, not to represent reality in a full, true, objective sense.

back on topic Tongue Out

Live Mail said that they were going to expand peoples' individual inboxes as their usage grows.  Maybe this is a glitch in that algyrythm?  (My free inbox is still 5GB)

(Unitentional, but related plug to my blog: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/1045)

Edit:
about those WebKit browsers... I can't use the italics in Chrome.  I even see the italics that I made for "back on topic" in the editor when I clicked edit, but alas...

If you applied italics to back on topic then it's being stripped for some reason, as it's clearly not in the HTML source.

This is not a "webkit" issue, but an application issue... albeit encountered with Chrome.

As I mentioned, the editor C9 implements (Telerik) is apparently using CSS (XHTML  compliant) mode when editing with Chrome   i.e. it wraps the selected text with <span style="font-style:italic;"></span>  instead of using various phrase tags such as <em> or font tags.

Perhaps C9 is stripping embedded styles for some reason (like to stop malicious style abuse) and this is an unintended side effect.

I think that the editor can be configured to accomodate this, and run in legacy mode for these functions.

Let's try editing the HTML manually!

Edit:
yes, your explanation makes perfect sense.

Edit 2: 
Here's the source:

<font class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">back on topic </font>
