I was able to duplicate.  After creating the url link, I put the cursor
right after the 'www.' And typed in the 'foo-labs.info'.  Then I delete
everything after 'info' and sent it.  The link read foo-labs and went to
cybertrion.

I was not able to duplicate this with Outlook 2003.  Both URLs were
visible, only the cybertrion URL was hotlinked, with no space
inbetween the two.  i.e.:

http://www.foo-labs.infohttp://www.cybertrion.com

Typing over the existing URL replaced both the displayed and link
text.

Could anyone else duplicate?

An issue has been discovered in MS Outlook (All
Versions) where anyone can fake a URL & send it
across.

How does it work:

Lets compose an email in MS Outlook, lets type


http://www.cybertrion.com & put a space after it to
make it a link. Now put your cursor just before
cybertrion & type any URL for eg:
http://www.foo-labs.info now send it to anyone. The
receiver will see the URL as http://www.foo-labs.info
but when he clicks on it it will directly take him to
http://www.cybertrion.com

I am not sure how critical this is but it can fool
alot of people & result in download of a virus.
