Why is HoTMaiL Mixed Capitalized?

“Those of you that were using the Internet back when Hotmail first came out (before Microsoft bought it) might remember that it too had a “mixed capitalization” name - HoTMaiL. While a bit tough on the eyes, the idea was that HoTMaiL was HTML email. Get it?” I get it, HTML email. I never knew that. Thanks for the info, HoTTProxy.
