It inserts a warning right next to the link, telling you (a) that
MailScanner found a suspicious link and (b) the real target of the link.
The link itself is left active, so you can click on it if it is a false alarm.
The subject line is also tagged as containing dangerous content.

Do a
         cd /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner
         grep Conf:: *pm
and change any you find to Config instead of Conf. You will find either 1
or 2 of them.

If you like I will publish a new beta with these fixes in, and the phishing
detector.
