I DO subscribe. So I expect mail from MS. I'm just not
sure howthey intend to differentiate themselves from the
kiddie scripters should the kiddie scripters get a clue
about formating the from/subject lines.

I understand MS doesn't send attachments.

I'm just very very tired of scanning a couple hundred
bogus emails a day on several boxes.
