   Forget this.  I went into my account directly through Microsoft.  My account   
   is setup through Hotmail but the account that is referenced is where I have   
   the login code emailed to.  So I have no account with Microsoft through the   
   referenced email br*w@gci.net.  And of course by looking at the properties   
   of my posted emails you can get bradshaw@gci.net.
