1. I type an email - and then choose to encrypt via voltage and send
2. Receiver gets an email with my email-address in the "From:" field, but with content stating something like "You have received an encrypted email. To view your email, click on the attachment.." - and a neat little html attachment presents itself for you to click.
3. Receiver - knows all about Voltage and its anti phishing technology - and hence assumes it is safe to click on a link / open the attachment.
Sheeeesh. No option to type a url and go to Voltage's website. No notification that I could be sent to sushi-land.. nothing..
.. More phish anyone ?

Try it yourself with the Voltage Security Network 30 day free trial:

I already did - and you should be able to see that in your logs :). But you're missing the point already, if you think someone needs to download your 30 day trial to understand the issue, ingrum. If Joe receives an email - from Sally - that has an html attachment - and beckoning him to click on it...., what would - no - what SHOULD Joe do ? double click on it just because the email text states it is safe and not a phishing email ?
