Create a whitelist of links the user employes regularly through its browser. For an extra measure of safety, query the user about how much they 'trust' the site associated with each link. (The question needs to be put to them with better language than asking about trust.) 2. Have the email client distinguish between links that are whitelisted and those that aren't. I don't have any idea how much incremental safety this actually would provide, but I think it's worthy of testing. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
