That would be terrific.  It would be really nice if AppleScripts could be
placed there.

Did you try Paul Berkowitz's "Account & Signature Shortcuts" script for
this?  It's very handy for this purpose.

Microsoft is implementing this into their newsgroups
<http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

See this page for details:
<http://communities2.microsoft.com/library/gallery/components/wn/3/locales/h
elp/help_en-US.htm#GiveMSFeedback>

It hasn't yet been implemented officially in the Mac groups, but the Mac BU
do monitor this mailing list as well as the newsgroups for feedback.

I agree, but I think that it might not be feasible for Microsoft to fix
every bug for free, especially considering that some bugs are rarely
encountered and some affect a small number of users, and that these bugs
might take a disproportionate amount of money to fix properly.
