Are you suggesting that we all sign up for the MSN Explorer program,
Leon?

But seriously, folks...

What is the difference between that, and the messages at the bottom of
the free emails, like the Hotmail emails, the "Are you a yahoo today",
the Netscape free email message, etc?

I am not suggesting that MS is not doing the wrong thing, but, with the
advertising messages at the bottom of free emails, I don't understand
what the difference is.

It is a bit different, to getting spam mail, where the recipient is not
included in the addressee list, or, when for example, PLUG starts
getting promotional emails, for butt-plugs, or bath plugs, or, for wall
plugs, etc.
