I am having a problems with MSN/hotmail and session ids. My application creates a session id and it works fine unless you are logged in to Hotmail. If you click on the URL from an email message in Hotmail, hotmail opens up the logon web page in a frame inside of Hotmail.. and the session id does not get set, so the logon process fails.

Is the problem with Hotmai, or beacause the browser is in a "frame" inside hotmail ? Does anyone know why these session variables don't get set ? The session id's work fine if you just go directly to the URL from IE or Netscape, outside of Hotmail.
