The latest and greatest phishing emails are using buttons that send you to another site. Too many people are onto the fact that you can look down in the status toolbar while hovering your mouse over and HTML link, and see the bogus phish URL. Buttons hide that nicely. The only good way I have come up with to detect the phish URL without clicking through is to "view source" and find the linked URL in the source code. Not user-friendly however; I think this is probably beyond the average/casual internet user, so the scammers will likely ride this one for a while with great success..
