This has just come in, and was captured by my phishing filter. I have since deleted it as I suspect its authenticity;
If it is legit, then the sender is doing the very action that Users are being firmly and constantly warned against. Not good practice, so in the Bin it goes.

.....but I do subscribe to a couple of MS Notifications and Newsletters, ie. MSRC. I also note that any communication from MS is usually via those channels, or by a message in a band just under the Toolbars. These are generally an invitation to take part in an MS survey of one kind or another, and its easy to just click NO.

...Sorry, not shouting.......it's just a big fat yes! And by my, I mean my Email Account Phishing Filter, which until now has served me extremely well. I am virtually spamless, and I don't have the settings too high as to be ridiculous.

Re incoming email. This has worked for me for yonks. My ISP scans all incoming email & removes what they consider to be rubbish to a special Web Mail folder that I can check. I view all emails on the Server's Web Mail site & remove anything I don't want. What I do want to come into Outlook is scanned by my Anti Virus email component first. Result, no crap ever.
