Same goes for Messenger Pro. Spamassassin is pretty good at picking up
phishing scams and marking them as such, and Thunderbird (which I use while
I'm on the road) is pretty good at picking up the rest.

As a general rule, if it says "Dear Customer" or "Dear Paypal Customer" or
something like that, I ignore it. If they actually mention my name, I will
visit the site, but I'll do it by entering the address directly into a
browser. Just for an extra dose of paranoia, I usually check the SSL
certificates too...
