[Elecraft] [OT] Be Advised ... New Microsoft Outlook Email Spam-Filter False-Positives Bug!

[Gary W. Hvizdak]

Late last night I posted ...
"... I sent it to myself on a whim, only to find that it was misidentified
as spam.  Eventually I was able to determine that the culprit was my
callsign on the signature line!"

Concerned that my initial bug report would only be processes automatically
-- such that no one would see that I essentially included the code fix in my
report -- I just spent 70 minutes on the phone with Microsoft.

It took that long because I had to speak with five people before reaching
someone (named Reden) who was able to comprehend what I was saying.  He said
he would send my regular expression code to the Outlook spam-filter software
developers, adding that he did not yet know how to do that!

73,
Gary
[Callsign omitted to avoid Microsoft Outlook spam filter false-positives.]

P.S.  Having since learned that this issue was reported a week ago, it's
likely Microsoft has already written their own solution.
