Faythe The Microsoft emials are pretty easy to figure out as regards their legitimacy, they're all PGP signed, they *never* say that the patch is attached to the email (they only provide links to Microsoft pages for further info and download links, and they always have all the info regarding how to subscribe and unsubscribe included at the end of the email.
