...will show "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run=res-center";, 
both in the message body, 
and on the status line on mouse-over, and take the user to the rather credible 
armordoll.it site where 
he can surrender his paypal data 'n monetas.  Ctrl-U will show the spoofed html 
source correctly.



...best remedy is remove the html rendering.  Toggling it on|off will also work.

...this bug is also present on the 2.3.etc version of Sylpheed.
