It's not the impression that your message is giving.

I didn't buy any Microsoft products in Japan or elsewhere. There mail  
is the consequence of a bad implementation of Outlook which generates  
heavy traffic on my Web server. Many of your customers using

	Microsoft Office/12.0 (Windows NT 5.1; Microsoft Office Outlook  
12.0.4017; Pro)

are making heavy requests on my Web server, eating my bandwidth,  
specifically 2/3 of accesses for October 2006.
	http://www.la-grange.net/2002/09/13-MoonPhase.ics

 From what I have gathered in the stats, most of the requests are US- 
based. I definitely think that it is a US version of your products  
which creates heavy loads.

Près de vous, madame, oubliant les cieux,
L'astronome étonné se trouble ;
C'est dans l'éclat caressant de vos yeux,
Qu'il avait cru trouver l'étoile double.
