This is not true, as I have not edited my language preferences.

I didn't think I had either, but my Opera6.INI, OperaDef6.INI and
Profiles\OperaDef6.INI all say:

[Adv User Prefs]
Http Accept Language=en

However, my profile\Opera6.INI says:

[Adv User Prefs]
HTTP Accept Language=en;q=1.0

Neither did I, but removing q=1.0 solved the problem for me!

Hey yes! just tested with:

[Adv User Prefs]
HTTP Accept Language=es,en


I guess they got tired of proxynomitron. I changed the string Opera for
0pera (there is a zero number there!) well not using proxy but editing the
exe file, and it loaded hotmail perfectly.

Now it was msn.com.

I guess what's next.
