Or forward them, or cite them. Not good when the 'helpful' people start using phishing tricks. This trains people into thinking this is normal, subverting security. I'm also guessing it violates EU tracking laws. > It gets around various problems that happen if you try to inspect > links when the mail arrives. Maybe you meant creates various problems? My spam filters often put email where the text of a URL does not match the content of the URL directly, automagically, into the spam bucket. I try to train my users to do the same. Too much phishing to allow this sort of thing. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
