its safe god damnit.

1) the email is "communications3.msn.com"

2) you can't tell anything from an email address anyway

I took my chances... it's a little like E-greeting that has a link to download a wink on the bottom

Doesn't even work in firefox.lol It's Microsoft all right:P

edit: doesnt work either way here:S

if it doesn't work copy and paste into the address bar instead of clicking the link.. when i clicked the link it went all stupid, but when i copied and pasted it worked fine (using Opera).
