This script immediately redirects the user to Hotmail's Mail tab (the inbox page) when he signs in. This way the Hotmail Today page (the regular "front page" that tells you how many messages you have) is skipped.

if (window.location.href.match(/http:\/\/(\w+\.){0,2}hotmail(\.msn)?\.com\/cgi-bin\/hmhome\?/)){
    if (document.referrer=='' || document.referrer.match(/http:\/\/login.passport.net\/uilogin/))
        location.href=location.href.replace('hmhome','HoTMaiL');
}

If referrer logging is enabled in Opera, the script will redirect the user only when he logs in; Opera Today can then be visited by clicking on the appropriate link. If referrer logging is disabled, Opera Today becomes virtually unreachable, as clicking on the link will automatically send the user to his inbox. All information displayed on that page is available elsewhere on Hotmail, though.
