Yes (for me and probably works for everyone else in NZ who has a hotmail.com account ) sending email to user(a)hotmail.co.nz goes to user(a)hotmail.com. I guess as they know I'm in NZ they do this automatically.
I've found no way to send FROM lennonnz(a)hotmail.co.nz from the webmail tho.

Question How is email getting to him at all - is there some sort of wizardry going on that resolves hotmail.co.nzhttp://hotmail.co.nz to hotmail.comhttp://hotmail.com that is not apparent when checking DNS , tracerouting or trying to browse to hotmail.co.nzhttp://hotmail.co.nz?
