Quick Tip

Have an e-mail from a bank or other institution you think may be spam but want to verify? 

DO NOT click any of the links within the e-mail! Instead, just place your cursor over any link within the e-mail, and look at the bottom left-hand corner of the main Eudora or Thunderbird window.

There you will find the actual address to which you would be taken if you were to click on the link. If it doesn't match what's displayed within the body of the e-mail, it’s likely a hoax. If the addresses do match, it's still best not to click on the link. Instead, open up a web browser and type in the address of the website in question.
