John,
I've gotten a few more cycles to spend on catching phish attacks.
 
My thought is this.  Just about every phish I've been looking at uses a IP
address url for the hyperlink.  So, the filter I was thinking of was:
 
Search for  
/<a.*href=.*http:\/\/[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?\.[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?\.[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?
\.[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?/i
Which is an IP address URL.  You could defang it by making the URL type
file: instead of http:.  Or maybe gopher:
 
What do you think?
