Plain Text E-Mails - URLs still appear in e-mail

I believe it's good security practice to send and receive e-mails in plain
text. This reduces the chance that you accidentally receive or send e-mails
with malicious code or fall for Phishing attacks.

In Outlook 2003, when you change your default e-mail format to 'Plain Text',
message bodies still have clickable links in them. This seems to defeat the
purpose of plain text e-mails. It also allows users to click on links that
might send them to malicious websites or fall for Phishing attacks.

Is there any work around for this? Or is this a flaw in the software?

Thanks.
 
Hyperlinks have always automatically been clickable in most email
clients I knew. But perhaps this is something that should be
customizable; but I don't see that it currently is.
