Doenst't work on Outlook 2003 with Text-Mails only -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Bakchodiya [mailto:bakchodiya () yahoo com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

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.
