Subject: FW: Last Microsoft Patch

Anybody else get this?  Looks legit, originating address is from msnbc.com.
But can't believe even Microsoft would be this stupid after the rash of
trojan-attached "patch announcements" lately.  Plus all security people have
been saying that Microsoft would never email a patch out.  Or are they
thinking, "Send this out so all the stupid people will click on this before
they click on a real trojan?
