How to tell this is a Phishing email ?

1. Is email is from you to you, then it's phishing.
2. Hover over all links in email, if it's not from the apple.com site then forget it.
   
   
   In above example, all the links and source images seem to be from Apple website except the iforgot.apple.com link.
   
   You can test this in the above example, since I crafted that from source HTML of the phishing email. Try it, hover over links to examine the source URL. Note: I have re-coded iforgot.apple.com to report itunesgoold.com as phishing site to Google.
   
   In the original phishing email, hovering over iforgot.apple.com pointed to spam site itunesgoold.com. The correct link when you hover over iforgot.apple.com should be http://iforgot.apple.com.
   

   

   Reading email in Outlook generated pop-up "Click to follow link"

   
   
   
   
   
   
3. The best way is to look at message source, see below.

How to examine Email Message Source ?

Now lets look at message source

1. Outlook.com->Actions->View Message Source. 
2. Gmail.com->More (down arrow to top right)->Show original.

For this phony email, well look at the top 25 lines of the message, known formally as the "message header".




Invalid return-path:

At line 23 you have Return-Path: hosting.windows@aruba.it
and is suspect because domain was registered in Italy (.it) and nothing to do with Apple.

Aruba.it is being investigate for a Paypal phishing and has reported links to Italian Mafia.

These are valid return-paths for Apple 

• Return-Path: do_not_reply@apple.com 
• Return-Path: bounces@insideicloud.icloud.com 

Why look at "Return-Path"? When the e-mail is put in the recipient's mailbox, a new mail header is created with the name "Return-Path:" containing the address on the MAIL FROM command. So it's a quick hit to determine authenticity.

Paste image into Gmail not working?

Are you having an issue pasting (ctrl-v) an image into Gmail message, no matter how many time you try to paste an image and it's just allowing you to add an image, but you can paste text ?

You most likely have plain text turned for composing emails in Gmail, but this is not obvious since it's really not indicated anywhere and if you slip into this mode you be frustrated that it's not indicated.

You can display your current default authoring mode by selecting this down arrow that is located to the right side of the garbage can when you compose a New Message in Gmail.

Plain text mode enable - this does not allowed images to be pasted!

Solution: You have to turn on Rich Text emails, which means makes sure Plain text mode is NOT selected.

Disable Plain text mode

Now you will be able to paste images into Gmail emails.
