MSN Photos Server photoemailfix.hta - an unofficial acknowledgement

Remember when I said that the photoemailfix.hta fix that fixes the "MSN Photos Server is currently unavailable" problem was NOT officially acknowledged by Microsoft? Well, I eventually found this.

Hi All,

Sorry for the delayed response. This problem was caused by a bug in our
software that occurs on some machines and not others. We have released a
script that will fix the problem. Simply point your browser to

http://autoupdate.msn.com/photoemailfix.hta

And photo mail will begin working.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
