*"**Not being one who check's the properties "Headers" of every E-mail to check it's origin,path, etc....I Don't notice the To and From: line is different from the typical EBot...I'm in a hurry...or multi-tasking, and simply click on the link.(Or..my filter takes it somewhere else and I don't even know about it,and thus...never gets bounced)"

*That could be true of anyone who downloads their mail into OE or Outlook - but very little of my mail is ever downloaded - especially rendo mail - in fact only newsletters or vendor mail that I need to keep for reference.

So the suggestion of clicking a fake ebot link going to a harvester is ruled out for me and anyone else using MailWasher.

The pic shows how an ebot appears in teh preview pane where the links are always clearly visible.  There's also a little button at the top that switches over to view between source and preview mode so checking a header of an message is very quick and simple.
