1. Did you log-in to this "Passport"? Was it indeed a .NET Passport prompt,
as far as you know?
2. Are you an MSN subscriber?
3. The email is legit and was sent to you based on your MSN/Hotmail
preferences.
4. Do you realize everyone reading your post now knows your Hotmail address?
This includes Trojans which 'harvest' addresses from these newsgroups (in
whatever format) as well as from newsgroup posts downloaded onto someone's
machine.
Never post your real address in a newsgroup post!
