Readers who work in the information technology biz and recently quit mailing lists from Microsoft report receiving this message. It’s not even a hint, Microsoft: these people specifically said that they no longer want to receive messages from you.

We sent a message to Microsoft asking what they might have been thinking here, but don’t expect a response.
