Hi Mark -
I understand the concern that this has caused; I would have thought the same
thing had I received the mail. This was a legitimate email that was sent out
by a third party on our behalf. Unfortunately, they added the redirect
without our knowing about it, as a "value add" for us. We have directed them
not to do this in the future. If you are concerned about this, you can
always go directly to the Subscriptions page without going through the dodgy
looking hyperlink.

Thank you <i>very much</i> for the reply.
I had pretty much given up on this message, and would just let the message
drop, and probably my subscription. I will go to MSDN Downloads and get the
form there (as I had in the past) and renew. I do appreciate that you did
respond, and even more so that you see the confusion and took the steps to
rectify the problem.
Again, sincere thanks.
Mark

... and here it is December 2008, and I also see the " ...recp.rm05.net... "
buried in the SOURCE view of an email that supposably is from a CitiBank
Account telling me I have all kinds of bonus bucks ready for my viewing ...
I'm sorry, but that just isn't right! While this is not a Microsoft issue,
your conversation here, popped up when I googled the "...recp.rm05.net..."
Maybe CitiBank is getting some 'ValueAdd' company to do their work also.
