hotmail sends blank messages from iceweasel

[Chris Lale <chrislale@untrammelled.co.uk>]

Hotmail does not like Iceweasel. If you send a message, using Lenny or Squeeze,
the whole body is empty. The text you entered is missing. You can check this by
looking in your "Sent" folder.

I recently found a solution at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/iceweasel-3.0.5-hotmail-not-working-until-changing-general.useragent.extra.firefox-696696/

You need to change the user agent setting in Iceweasel from "Iceweasel" to
"Firefox":
Just write about:config in the url and then search the name:
"general.useragent.extra.firefox"
Double click the Iceweasel/#.#.# under Value and change the Iceweasel portion to
Firefox.

eg mine now reads
general.useragent.extra.firefox   user set   string   Firefox/3.0.6
