That shouldn't be a problem; I was speaking of cases where the text contains a different URL. Phishing e-mails do this almost every time. For example, the link text will be http://www.paypal.com but the actual URL when you click it goes to http://www.paypal-com-bad-guys-phishing-site.cn _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
