Jump to PostYou can use email spoofing from the command line, although you can easily tell they are fake by looking at the header info. Then most ISP disallow such action.

Instead of typing direct url for example http://www.google.com and letting email client to make it hyperlink ... you can use <a href="http://www.google.com">Yahoo</a>. This will mask Yahoo to google :D
