Hmm. I do not think this is very useful. More over, since the phrase is sent with
every mail, it is easier for the phisher to get hold of the valid phrase and construct a site that displays this phrase. In a way, it is making the problem worse. Also, I have to note that Passmark type of aid is not very effective as the root of problem of the phishing is the social engineering. It is easy to social engineer so that users are made to believe that different images shown on the site is OK due to technical "glitches".
