I stick with ancient e-mail software that doesn't let ne click on links.
That doesn't attempt to decode/dsipaly html. And which certaily doesn't
run executable programs (in any language).
I am less likely to get caught by something like this because I will spot
that the link doesn't go to ebay.co.uk or wherever, but goes to some
totally unknown site. At which point I am pretty sure it's fraudulent
I use elm for my work email which does the same as you describe. For
personal email I use Thunderbird which will show the full link when
your mouse pointer hovers over it. (Plus you can also turn off
automatic picture get from the internet)
Cheers,
Bryan
