[KS] NOTE to Korean Studies List "Hotmail" users

[Frank Hoffmann]

===================================================
A technical note for Hotmail KS List subscribers:
===================================================

Because of an unrelated project I noticed that Hotmail email accounts 
are starting to develop problems with email lists like this one--and 
*various* other problems, all this just since two three days. These 
could be temporal or permanent problems, hard to know yet. This is all 
completely unconfirmed, I just happen to see "something" is happening. 
Seems that Hotmail is now physically and virtually moving all its 
"Hotmail.com" accounts to the new "Outlook.com" (and maybe different 
data centers, or at least shifting them around within data centers). 
See the NOTE at their home page: http://hotmail.com
  "Your Hotmail has moved to Outlook.com"

So … *if* you stop getting mails from the Korean Studies List, please 
read on here.

You *may* have to resubscribe to the KS List after the change is 
done--I am by no means sure--depends on many details of how exactly 
Microsoft handles the alias setup, and how that works with the List 
setup. That is complicated and cannot be predicted so easily. In 
addition, Mailman list software also has some special rules in place 
how to handle mail that is different from a 
regular email account setups.

This mail was just to let you know that you *may* have to act on such 
changes with the KS List subscription, and that mails to Hotmail 
accounts *may* stop. In case you stop getting mails from the list, 
please consider updating your mail account or re-subscribe with your 
Outlook.com account.


Best wishes,
Frank
