Um, you are aware that there could be accompanying text and the link
could still contain a virus? All the junk my ISP's spamcatcher dumps
into my graymail has accompanying text.
This is a ridiculous discussion, as the only person it matters to
whether you click on a link, is you. Thankfully, this moribund list
seems to be moving on to some actual content.

This is definitely true for phishing and spoof emails, but the virus emails that contain only a link and no text generally don't do this. I would recommend never clicking on a link that doesn't have accompanying text.
