Or forward them, or cite them.

Not good when the 'helpful' people start using phishing tricks.  This
trains people into thinking this is normal, subverting security.

I'm also guessing it violates EU tracking laws.

Maybe you meant creates various problems?  My spam filters often
put email where the text of a URL does not match the content of the
URL directly, automagically, into the spam bucket.  I try to train
my users to do the same.  Too much phishing to allow this sort of thing.
