I don't know. (The R-repo was part of StatLib which also seems to be  
currently unresponsive to browser queries, so it's more likely a  
server-wide issue. I checked the CMU Stats Dept website: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/ 
  and can find no announcements of service issues.)  I used to use it,  
too, but it became less reliable in recent months and I switched over  
to using the repo at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle: http://cran.fhcrc.org

Tyler;

You should investigate whether Hotmail allows you to send plain text  
mail. I've checked Gmail and yahoo and Nabble and they all support  
plain text.
