Here's an interesting read for the phishing problem:
"Email Phishing Problem Solved"

And here's my point.. if the phishing net engine detects a phished mail
(post safe/white lists), have an option to convert the HTML mail to
text, thus making the site clearly visible if the user decides to click
on a link. Of course the subject modifications {Fraud?} still need to be
made.
# If a phishing fraud is detected, do you want to convert all html in
# the mail into text? For false positives, add the site to the Phishing
# Safe Sites File [%etc-dir%/phishing.safe.sites.conf]
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Convert Phishing HTML To Text = yes
Thoughts? ideas?
