We have had several phishes get through -- most appear to be Google,

Well, the above is just using Google to re-direct to the phishing
site. I think they could on the people hovering the mouse over the
link, seeing Google and then trusting the site, which you normally
wouldn't do.
I found that when I get a link like that, it may show the link to
google, but hovering the mouse over the link and look at the status bar
at the bottom of the thunderbird and it will reveal the true direction.
I do that to see where it really goes and I label it as junk or block it
completely at my isp's web site for the settings of my incoming email
and works out really nice.
