Actually despite people saying bad things about AOL email works for
me I am able to hover over a link and see when it some weird
destination most times the lined URL is completely different than the
one
that shows visibly without hover on the email page.

I never click on links in email, but if there's an explanation of what the
link is, I might transcribe it into a browser (although perhaps a dumb

Since I didn't ask for it and you didn't notify me personally in advance,
I would not click on the link.
Back in the '90s when I was young and ignorant I clicked on a link and got
