The links are easy to forge. Clicking on the blue link that says
"www.paypal.com" may well send you to "www.gotcha-sucker.com" or some such
place. Of course, the site will say it's what you think it should be and
it'll look exactly like the real thing, including all the graphics, page
layout, etc., but it isn't the "real thing".
Eudora warns you that the link ain't that it says it is....and conveniently
shows you the "real" url.
That's one of the reasons ebay and payapl ask for the message to be forarded in
its original form...so they can see the bogus url.
