if you have a problem

a) try searching archives
b) try google
c) check out Ant WIKI
c) if failure on above, write email with descriptive summary line so
that others in the future can search for the answer to your question, if
anyone does answer it
d) if you think u have abherrant behavior check bug list for Ant before
sending email

people on this list (and many lists) answer questions though they are
not obliged too, also (as with much Open Source) expecting something to
be working in a certain way or why doesnt Ant have this functionality is
usually met with; why not help create it...

this is definately off topic, u are going to have to ask someone at
hotmail this question.

u should just reply to the email list, not email list + person...though
for off topic conversations try to keep between personal emails.
