Paypal & ebay have to be the most abused. My martian radar still goes up whenever something arrives from either.
Late 90's I wrote a sendmail filter so our customers could have the (a) tags filtered from their email, leaving images but only the actual trimmed URLs as clickable. Formatting looked a little screwy but it caught plenty of anglers.
The same thing is easy enough to do for your webmail sites with Proxomitron or Privoxy.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
