Yes, yes, I know it's html in an email, but it's like Canute and the tide
trying to convince people that although it's pretty it's also a
pain...anyway...
Here's a block from an email sent by our Marketing lady - notice that
'www.petdoctors.co.uk' claims to be 'www.petdoctors.co.uk' - what's tripping
the phishing alert and is it fixable?
(Look away now if easily offended)
