Hotmail in Libraries

After reading most of the posts on Hotmail in libraries no one has mentioned
that most browsers such as IE and Netscape cache the data including the
email from Hot Mail which eliminates any privacy of Email.  If you are
recommending it to patrons then you should turn off the cache or at least
warn them that others could read their mail. This problem is not in Hotmail
it is in the browser.
