I nearly fell for a real fishing link once recently, due to changes that have been made by our IT department. Firstly all external senders have the mail reformatted with a red bar at the top and some text, and secondly all hyperlinks are forced through a proxy, which makes it effectively impossible to know what the URL is from the email. I'd received a (rare to my work account) fishing email and I was about to click on a link in there just before I started thinking. I'd been trained to trust emails with the red bar, as most external mail I get is trustworthy, and I reflexively check links before I click them but this was just another going through the proxy. I'm not sure how much these changes help less technical users, but it made me less secure.
