You could try setting curl to send a User-Agent that looks like Lynx or some
other browser that doesn't support JavaScript. If you're lucky, Hotmail
will respond with a login page that doesn't require JavaScript. Knowing
Microsoft, however, you should count yourself lucky if you can log in with
anything other than IE.
