I tried unsuccessfully to report this via feedback from
Hotail Home.

This is not a complaint; I want to REPORT A BAD EMAIL I
received in my inbox:

Subject : Use this patch immediately !

Hotmail has permanently blocked the following potentially
unsafe attachment(s): patch.exe (13 KB) More Info...
 
Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!

I copied and pasted it here; I am not sure who to report
this to, but decided to do this now.

Hotmail did permanently block the attachment, so this is
probably unnecessary; I figured it couldn't hurt anything
to send notification anyway. There are MANY users who
would (try) open this: I am aware enough to know
better.
