I got one. I copied off the text including the link, and pasted into
WordPad. Then I could see the URL, which was a "contest" site. I *never*
sign up for contests, because only the people who collect your info win
the contest. I did not see it was from Juno Promotions [what is that?],
just that it was served the same way other Juno ads have been.
By The Way, I stumbled upon this gimmick using WordPad to reveal hidden
links. Pasting into Word 97 or a text editor does not reveal the links.
Once the links show in WordPad [often with extra frames, etc, whatever]
one can copy that and paste it into a plain text app [such as NoteTab
Lite or Juno Version 4 email] and have a compact version of the HTML
stuff from ads or websites.
Have other members found ways to reveal URLs hidden in blind links?
