  Anybody else get this?  Looks legit, originating address is from
msnbc.com.  But can't believe even Microsoft would be this stupid after the
rash of trojan-attached "patch announcements" lately.  Plus all security
people have been saying that Microsoft would never email a patch out.  Or
are they thinking, "Send this out so all the stupid people will click on
this before they click on a real trojan?
