How to send a legitimate e-mail indistinguishable from phish

Over on the F-Secure "News from the Lab" blog, Mikko posts a fine example of two messages: one of which is a clear example of phishing, the other is a legitimate e-mail which uses phish-like methods to direct the reader to a legitimate website.

The point that Mikko makes is a good one--"What's the point in trying to educate users about phishing scams and how they work if the same tricks are being used by the good guys?"

*sigh*
