Subject: MS Security Bulletin doing email harvesting?

I get this email today that says it’s from 
windowssecurity@...il.microsoft.com.  It looks legit so I go to forward it 
to someone I know and Outlook 2003 pops an error message that I attached.  I 
look at the HTML and it’s trying to pull the following URL.

http://www.m0.net/m/logopen02.asp?vid=1102&catid=9707637645&ecid=0

I go to www.m0.net and it’s a mass marketing site.

Here is the message header.

Do you all think it’s a spammer trying to harvest emails by impersonating a 
MS security bulletin?  If it is, how funny is THAT?!?!?
