Eudora does this quite well. I hover on an embedded link and it shows 
in the bottom of the window. If I click on a link and the href 
doesn't match the text that is presented in the message, I get a 
popup window alert. Sometimes they are just redirects to acknowledge 
the referring site, but you have to know what you're doing to make 
that determination.
