Re: Security issue in Microsoft Outlook

[Jens Becker <bugtraq.geek () gmail com>]

you can also do it with HTML.
eg. <a href="http://www.cybertrion.com";>http://www.foo-labs.info</a>
and in addition u can change the text wich is shown when the cursor is
over the link:
<a href="http://www.cybertrion.com";
alt="http://www.foo-labs.info";>http://www.foo-labs.info</a>

Sorry for my bad english.
