Forget the ( _ )! Register an email with ( - ) by DeJa_Vu on 01-03-2005 at 06:21 AM
Good morning everyone in my case
I just read that Hotmail has recently allowed users to register new emails using dash (-) in the usernames .. for example: DeJa-Vu@hotmail.com
It's FYI and keep you updated !
Personally, I was so happy to register a new email using my favorite nick

Sounds nice! I've always wanted to use a dash ' - ' in my e-mial, but eh, that feature wasn't available..late upgrade.
Thanx for the info! Will help next time i create a new e-mial

Maybe hotmail has ran out of possible usernames that fit how many ever characters they've allowed... and by adding the dash there will be more available nicknames. I wonder why they didnt allow it in the first place.. It's a late upgrade !
Where did you hear this too ?

Ya i had tried the dot (.) a few dayz ago but couldn't get it. Only rediff and gmail allow that as far as i know. Still thanks for the update.

somhow i dont think this will cath on with many user tho how annoying the _ is its basicly in every email it will be a new thing to do - i try to leave all of that out and just have text thats my opinion

I love the "." in gmail... looks somewhat professional (as long as its not the.hot.one@gmail.com or something like that 
)
