There is another 'clever' variation of this fake message that puts the
email text into a graphic (however, it looks just like a regular text
message).  The link in the 'text' is the actual link to PayPal, but when
you click on it, since the entire message is an embedded graphic with a
hyperlink, the link actually goes to a fake PayPal site where your
information is forwarded to the author.

Just one more reason to refuse HTML and embedded graphics in mails.
