Download the latest version (just uploaded) and change the definition to:

:Contct Details:contct (email"hotmail.com"=30 15)

It could be done, but is a bit trickier. With the current fix, the user can
just change hotmail.com if she or he wishes to change the default.
But if we provide a pick list, we have to provide a text field *as well*,
in case the domain is not one of those listed.

Applying "when in doubt, leave it out," let's start by allowing a default
value, which the user can over-write.
