WMF gunshy

Boy, all this talk on the net about these WMF exploits has got me nervous.
I just got an innocent enough looking piece of spam, supposedly from the
US Post Office, someone I normally get spam from anyway. It is just
offering me charts for the new postal rates that I know are in the
process of going up anyway. Then when I rolled my mouse over the links
in the email, they don't actually go to the site the texts claims. The
visible text in the links are all usps.com/(something or other) or
pe.usps.com/(something or other), but the link that shows on the bar at
the bottom of the window is all "email.harte-hanks.com/(something or
other)".

Harte Hanks (harte-hanks.com) is openly registered at Network Solutions
and appears to be a legitimate marketing company in Austin Texas. They
could very well be doing work for the Post Office.

Am I going to click on the links while up in Windows (I almost did)? I
don't think so. You just don't know.
