From: Richard Perlman <perl () lucent com> Dewayne: If you change the text color of the email, or just paste it into a very dumb editor (vi) you will see a lot of "text" that was in a white colored font. Seemingly nonsense to fool SPAM filters. But, interesting none-the-less. Also, the actual link text was: https://web.da-us.citibank.com/signin/scripts/Iogin2/user_setup.jsp ... the URL was really: (http://web.da-us.citibank.com%2e%75%73%65%72%73%65%74%2e%6e%65%74:34/%63/% 69%6E%64%65%78%2E%68%74%6D) So, while the link text was a seemingly safe citibank.com host, the URL was really (if I read my ascii table correctly): http://web.da-us.citibank.com.userset.net:34/cindex.htmRichard
