Re: [Thinkpad] OT: MAPI32 notice: bogus or not?

Funny...
Actually I don't get that many "MS updates/delivery failure"....but there's a pattern.
Every time I'm mailing this forum.....I get a "MS update and a Delivery failure" a couple of hours later.

14 days ago I got a brandnew mailaddress....due to private reasons, but also to get rid of a bunch of spam.
Now....I haven't used my real address in any NG's. Only place is here.
Another explaination would be someone that has me, with my new address, in their addressbook.

  Agreed. I too received the same e mail. Norton caught a few, and the rest I
  just deleted automatically. Micro shaft does not e mail patches or updates.
