Hello,

Microsoft has a new plugin available for reporting spam to Microsoft

from within Outlook.  More information, plus download instructions at:

What's strange is that the .MSI file is not signed.

It is mildly ironic that Microsoft didn't place the file in an AuthentiCode
wrapper.  I would think that a tool designed to improve user security would
have this.
