Another possibility is to use a News Provider that doesn't have their

You're correct that Windows Live Mail has poor filtering capability,
but it's good for Hotmail which is my main reason for using it. I some
other NG readers though, such as Gravity.
Never saw a reason/need for Hotmail. Any mail from a hotmail account is
assumed to be spam as no one would be using it for business, and at work

If they are on the road they might. Someone would almost certainly use
a Hotmail account, if they are away on a business trip to get thier Email.
One would just simply set the forwarding on their work Email account to
forward everything to their hotmail account, then they can pick up their
Email while they are on the road.

No, in a sensible company they will be provided with some method of accessing their company email account if they are expected to read it. For example by being provided with company WebMail access or a Blackberry. There are many other solutions that do not rely on relaying email to an external email account.

I travel a lot running my online radio station, and I use hotmail, when I am
on the road, to get my Email. When you are travelling, it is the most
convenient way to keep in touch.

Personally I would find it the *least* convenient method. However my company provides webmail for when I can't use my company notebook and other methods for when I can. The same with my personal email.
