    To determine if the email you received is a phishing scam, consider the following points:

    1. Sender's Email Address: Check if the sender's email address is from a legitimate Microsoft domain. Emails from Microsoft support typically come from domains like microsoft.com, microsoftsupport.com, or mail.support.microsoft.com. If the email is from a different domain, it may be a phishing attempt.
    2. Content of the Email: Look for inconsistencies in the email content, such as typos, outdated logos, or requests for personal information that legitimate emails would not ask for.
    3. Registration Confirmation: If you do not recall signing up for the webinar, this could be a red flag. Legitimate companies usually provide a way to verify your registration.
    4. Links in the Email: Hover over any links in the email without clicking them to see if they lead to legitimate Microsoft websites. Be cautious of shortened URLs or links that do not match the expected domain.
    5. Security Features: The email mentions standard encryption (TLS), which is a good sign, but it is not definitive proof of legitimacy.

    If you suspect the email is a phishing scam, do not click on any links or provide any personal information. You can report the email to Microsoft for further investigation.

    I'd have to see the full header, but if YOU substituted me myself eye for your email, it could be legit. I registered and the header looks like thus (I edited my email address for privacy)
