This is not quite true.  About a year ago, I wrote a little Perl program
which created arbitrary Hotmail accounts from the command line. :)  You
can see my article in the German "Linux-Magazin", issue 10/2000 for more
details (a copy can be found at
http://www.normans.isd.uni-stuttgart.de/~ziefle/publications/linux-magazin/).
I dunno if it'll work nowadays because they are changing their interface
quite a lot.  As well, I developed a similar program for the German
email-service GMX (www.gmx.de).

If there is interest, I herewith offer my contribution in the future
(that means, as soon as I find the time).  But as I suspect, Perl is
unfortunately not very popular in the KDE community.

Regards,

Jörg
