I have posted this before, it is starting to really interfere with my
diligent methods for checking out spam messages.

HTML emails where the URL is hidden and only clickable copy, for example:
LOGIN TO UPDATE YOUR EBAY DATA is all you see on screem, but the underlying
url is something like http://64.84.37.foo, in the past, I could control
click, paste into something, and decide if it was a valid non spoofed url.
This was quick and did not take a trip to view source of the email.  This
feature is gone, there is no control click at all to a URL in html mode, it
is just gone.

I thought perhaps I could deal with it by using a Service menu item to open
the email in some other app, no go, HTML emails yield the total disabling of
access to any service at all!

Now, I use a strip html script to "see" the real urls, which in the cases
where I am wrong, and it is a valid email, renders me a edited and messy
email that is often hard to read.  You would be surprised by the number of
online bills I get as HTML that have no plain text alternative parts.

I sent this in to the feedback link for e-rage 04, no reply, I really can
not stress how much I personally want this feature back :-)  It has to be a
bug, plain text allows me to "define" a word, quick way to lookup a word you
do not know, in HTML emails, you can not do this either, no control click
available.

In the mean time, is there any way that a script could be made to parse all
urls out of the current email, put those urls in a dialog box for display on
screen, but leave the original email not altered?

If anything, I sure would like to get the "define" feature to work in HTML
emails, not to mention access to the services menu in HTML email, others may
feel the control-click-copy-url is no big loss, the other 2 mentioned
omissions I hope others feel are more valuable so we can at least get those
put back in.
