IIRC, there was a security breach a few months ago where you could be sent
a message with a button/link in it, which, if clicked, would send your
password. This hole was supposedly fixed.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no harm in simply opening an email
with Hotmail (and certainly not with normal email systems).
