The actual URL will take you to the real youtube if you copy/paste to a browser. Only clicking it in the original email takes you to the spoof page. It got automagically formatted as a link because the BB saw http:// and assumed that is what I wanted it to do. It did NOT carry the a href source=. I checked before submitting. That dumb I ain't.
