In all descendants of Netscape, Ctrl+U has always brought up the source. And there I mean _the source_, not what was rehashed by the rendering engine (as IE uses to do - don't know about Outlook, uninstalled it again without trying this, but I remember from playing with CDO that it loses half of the header info), but as it arrived over the wire. Then you can read the links as they are - for most of it, say, PayPal and eBay spoofs are bringing the genuine links to images and several regular webpages on the website you're supposed to believe has sent you the message, except that one link, and that's the one you're supposed to click, will take you down the rabbit hole.

I assume all of us can read HTML. I may be wrong.
