I have a hotmail account. Microsoft makes money off the advertising on hotmail. http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!47118.entry?sa=619224488 Can I choose who gets Microsoft’s money?

The i’m Initiative is a Microsoft program where Microsoft shares a portion of their advertising revenue for everyday activities – sending IMs and emails. Hotmail and Messenger have ads, like all free web services, and Microsoft makes money when a customer sees an ad. The i’m Initiative has successfully raised over 1.4 million dollars since it got started in 2007. It used to be available only in Windows Live Messenger, and now the Hotmail team is glad to say that you’ll be able to raise money for the cause of your choice each time you send an email.
