I am sorry, jgg, I can't say if Microsoft ever gets emails like you guys do. I do know that we at webmaster@zope.org get similar mindboggelingly stupid stuff, although arguably in smaller volume.
(For those of you not familiar with Zope, it's an OSS Web Application Server, and both the default footer template and the default error message both contain a button linking to http://www.zope.org/. We get forwarded error reports from the oddest sites).
Just now however, I openened my webmaster@zope.org mailbox to find a real topper of weirdball email. The sender's identity has been obscured to protect the terminally "Dimwitted", spelling mistakes were not corrected:
Hi, my name is Jxxxxx Rxxxxx, and I just became a member of zope.org. I went to download the search ingine, and I did not receive anything! When I downloaded it, I went to open the compressed files, and nothing happened! I kept getting a red light on winzip. Now, my login does not work, so therefore, I would like to get credit back on my credit card.
Thank you,
Jxxxxx
I just know that Microsoft gets those. Does Debian?
I better get on with studying, if I ever want to make it across the atlantic by the end of this year...
