Images: How IE7 beta protects you from phishing
Summary: Although it's not a part of IE7, this screen shot of Outlook shows an email that's probably from a phisher because the user doesn't have an account at Chase. Phishers send their emails to millions of people in hopes that some of the people who receive them actually have an account on the financial site's systems and can be fooled into clicking on the links and submitting their login credentials.

Outlook prevents you from actually clicking on the link until you activate the links by clicking on the grey warning bar (orange when highlighted) that turns up just above the email.
