I think that Mathew was trying to attach the original e-mail he got from
Microsoft Canada, but due to some weird encoding problem (no doubt due
to the e-mail being composed in some multi-part Microsoft format). Since
the e-mail describes the possible agenda, and many people are asking for
it, I have copy-pasted the message here in plain text. I hope Mathew
doesn't mind.

If you ask me, let's invite them if we have no other topic planned. It's
not every day you get a free seminar from Microsoft. Besides, from what
I understand they are offering to buy us pizza.
