[SLUG] Fwd: Microsoft Direct Access Newsletter


I just received this from Micro$oft... Notice the "From" field.

Microsoft Direct Access Newsletter 

<marketing crap deleted>

Now, it may just be my finely developed sense of paranoia, but the
"From" address looks suspiciously like an Office 2000 "registration
code" - my wiffe received the same newsletter and it had a different
"from" string.

Neither of our two copies (now sold, thank God) were ever registered
with The Evil One, so one must ask what embedded codes are in their
documents....:-)
