I know some time ago I signed up to receive Microsoft Security

I wonder why I got this email this morning?

were hoax Microsoft security emails currently doing the rounds.

Yes it is a hoax: just reread the headers, slowly: microsoftemail.com
registered to MS in redmond - perhaps they thought of supplying useable email sometime .... in the future...
