Wierdness in Safari Hotmail

[Doctor X]

I hope this is in the correct place. My machine is as in my signature.

I usually use Safari for my Hotmail--yes, I use Hotmail. I also use other browswers and Mail actually now has a hackie that almost fully works. But that is besides the point! Since the update to Snow Leopard, mail in Hotmail occasionally comes out garbled. The example below is a response to Spamcop--a spam reporting service:



The garbled links send you to the correct page. IF you hit reply or forward, you can read the message.

My add-ons to Safari were Safari Stand with everything enabled for Hotmail, Greasekit with Safari Ad-Block. Now, those add-ons all did not work in 34-bit, so I decreased to 34-bit and the problem persisted.

Now Safari Stand has come out with 64-bit support--yay!--works great. Still have the problem.

"Stop using Add-ons! Trust Mac! Mac loves you it does! LOVES you! Hates you! No, LOVES you!" you respond.

So I turned all of that off and . . . same problem.

I do not get this problem on any other page I have found, Yahoo! and Gmail are fine.

Ideas?

Tell that crazy cryptographer to stop sending you email?

P.S. It is not just spam. If it was just the spam, I would not give a rodent's fundament.

34-bit?
Does that happen in other stuff too, like Camino or Firefox?
Even as that happens only with hotmail, ... do you have any extra fonts added in system? Any difference if they are all off?

No. Actually, I use to have problems with FF, but that was because I have Adblock which M$ despises. The newer versions work fine--I just hate having to switch browsers.

I do not think so. I checked Font Book--since M$ Word has "issues" with SL and duplicate fonts that screw up everything. How do I check that?

Incidentally, this problem happens with everything shut off of Safari--Stand, Greasekit and Safari Block since, I figured, that would be the probable cause.
