Hello Mark Seifert!

** On Thursday 04.03.21 - 19:59, you wrote to me:

Yes. Excellent.  But the problem was that the link above was  
obscured by the email program.  Thankfully, by just hovering  
over any links, I can see the bogus redirects.

But I don't think those links are revealed in webmail  
interfaces. And webmail use is probably becoming more and more  
prominent.

Correct. In cases like that it is best to do what I've heard  
some folks say: shoot, shovel, and shut up.
