with plans to make hotmail unusable with Windows Live Mail 2012, it was thoughtful for Microsoft to issue a patch preserving the usability of WL 2012 with Hotmail.

Unfortunately, the patch -- KB 3093594--doesn't work (that is, it makes the "Sent" field info unusable in Windows Live 2012  showing the name of the Sender as the "TO" field for all mail sent while the patch is installed.)

So at the moment, the choices seem to be: lose functionality without showing correct name in Sent TO field, OR lose all access to Hotmail if you wish to run Live 2012 and a Win 7 machine.

Is this the situation -- or should we expect a patch that works to replace the patch in KB 3093594.

If no patch is coming, it looks like it will be time to conver away from Hotmail after all these years.  (Especially because I am planning to upgrade to Win 10 at a time of MY choosing, not to be forced to do so in order to continue to use email).

Since there has apparently been a decision to make Outlook Com unworkable with Wlive 2012 unless there is a patch, It would be helpful to know:  will there be a working patch?

Please advise.
