When the mouse pointer is passed over the URL, the status bar at the bottom of the screen shows
http://www.egold.com
and does not reveal the spoofed URL. One must view the message source to see the actual URL.
This technique is known to work on some browsers, but this is the first time I've seen it used to spoof e-mail clients.
I am told that if the URL gets much longer, recent versions of Eudora will overflow a buffer in a way that is exploitable by malware. This particular phishing expedition doesn't seem to take advantage of that vulnerability, hoever.
