What is amazing about it is that, while it looks like a plain ascii email, it
was actually in HTML, and HTML had been used to make it look like an plain
ascii email.

I don't remember giving Visa any of my "nosense.org" email addresses, so I
was suspicious. Clicking the "http://www.visa.com"; link took me to this URL

http://server445.servers101.com/suspended.page/

Fortunately, it looks like the phishermen have been noticed, and the bogus 
site shut down.

Yeah.  Notice that the URL is (if it's the same scam being discussed on the
Full-Disclosure list):

http://www.visa.com:trashtrashtrash(_at_)64(_dot_)21(_dot_)NN(_dot_)NN/verified-by-visa.html

or some such. Just be glad there wasn't an x'01' in there, or you'd probably
STILL be scratching your head wondering how it happened. :)
