Thanks Jeremy, that's exactly what I was asking about. A URL like... <http://online.bankofamerica.com.signon.aspx.fraudulentbank.org/> ...looks as if it will take you to Bank of America but, in fact, will take you to the Fraudulent Bank site. I'm told that, in AppleMail, hovering over (NOT clicking on) the above link will show the whole URL revealing it as a fake. I'd like to do that with Power Mail, if I can. Jeremy... I use PowerMail's globe too, but I think it only shows the URL *after* clicking on it. By then you are already logging into the site. Thanks, Frank -- Frank Mitchell, Scottsdale, Arizona
