From: CJB on 22 Mar 2010 20:03 On my PC I have IE7. When I get an email with an embedded link in it - like I get in say a fraudulant PayPal email - I can hover the cursor over the link and the real address appears at the bottom of the window in the status bar. This address is invariably inconsistent with the link text and this allows me to see that the address is a fraud and that I can ignore / delete the email. However I have just bought a netbook with IE 8 installed. When I opened a fraudulant email - again apparently from PayPal - and hovered the cursor over the embedded link the underlying address did NOT appear at the bottom of the window. So I now have no way of telling if an email is genuine or not. What do I have to do to configure IE 8 to do show embedded addresses before clicking on them please? Thank you - Chris Brady

Your arrogance is only exceeded by your arrogance. Google Groups does not appear to provide IE7/8. I have solved my problem with advice from users more conducive to help than you. Quite why or how you became a MVP (whatever) is a moot point. Thanks for nothing. CJB.
