If you did not notice that you were not
partner-hupyaakuw@ltyflhtf.msdn.net
your clue is
From: "Microsoft Technical Support" <njwiqlb@ltyflhtf.msdn.net>


If you explore MSDN.NET you will find tyflhtf.msn.net is
not a valid URL. Viruses of this type are usually Swen =
news spelled backwards, spuriously sent to ( and as
if from) people who posted true email addresses in
newsgroups.

Viruses of this type have been abundant since
Sept. 2003. It seems generally well-known that
MS sends no executables to clients except on request.

rrt, Microsoft, Seattle WA,

Correspondance, phone calls and faxes to your Canadian President, Mr. Clegg, and his staff - whose names I can provide if you wish, tell me that these spams are being sent by a rogue MS impersonator.

I am at a loss to know what gain this fellow expects as all the contents are the usual MS rah-rah monologue

I am unable to decode the emails noted below. If your company cannot, or cannot admit that these worthless spams are in fact the work of MS personnel, I suggest your common stock is ripe for short selling

I'm surprised that this John Connolly guy is smart enough to post to
newsgroups but dumb enough to think this is M$ spam. Why the hell would M$
spam people with 85% market share? Did he not hear anything about MS
Blaster or Netsky over the past 3 months??! lol I'm going to take his
computer away :-)
