A question, how would Fred Miller on the OT list send us all those fascinating links?
Um, the way he is now? Those are just plain text emails. If you see a clickable link it's because it's detected by your mailer
That is probably an answer
The problem (one of the problems) with links in html mail is that scammers do things like http://foo.com>bar.com</a>. You don't see the stuff inside the <a href> unless you're paying attention, and most Outlook users aren't.
This is definitely the problem
Why is this a problem? What does something like this: http://foo.com>bar.com</a> allow a scammer to do?? Curious, Jerome
It can fool users into thinking they are being taken to FOO when in fact the link leads to BAR. (You gotta read closely). At BAR, all manor of evil code might be lurking. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
