Hotmail and MSN have decided that "printed-quotable" and "rich text" formats
(the ones with = signs at the end of lines, are not valid emails. Trying to
deliver such to their servers gets you dropped with no error message of any
kind so the emails sit in the queues trying to go. Sending a plain text
email and it goes thru immediately.
