Unless you know exactly who it is (and anyones mailbox can be hacked and mail sent using their name) DONT open them!
If you really want to try use right click on the link and see whats available but its probably your virus checker stopping you opening suspicious links ,hovering your mouse over it should show who it is in reality but beware!

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you
There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong
Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson

Bloody hell Fred, I thought you'd taken up golf when I read the title!
I'm no expert, but work on the same principle that Chesters advised. I won't click on any link, if I have the slightest doubt as to it's origins'.
It's a bit like the old joke,
Patient, "It hurts when I do this, and I don't like it".
Doctor, "Well don't do it then"!

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John
