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.
Good call--I like that solution. 99% of the time, the phishing can be caught just by looking at the URL.

And that site rocks... Very good idea... I'd be interested to know the technical side of how it works...
