I've found that I can right-click an HTML email in Outlook (not OE) and
choose "View Source" to see the HTML source. That pops up a Notepad window
showing the HTML, and is perfectly safe. There I can find the <A... link and
see that the URL showing in the email is *not* the URL you'll be taken to if
you click it!
I don't see any "Details" entry under properties in Outlook.
