Which seems to me the way it's supposed to work. Exactly. And the target="_blank" is to cause a new window to open, which I guess is intended so that when the viewer is looking at this fully rendered HTML in his mail app, when clicking on the link he is taken from his mail app out onto the web, not simply loading another HTML page into the mail application. (I don't know what would happen to some mail applications in this case, as I do not spam, and refuse to work for spammers who send out HTML mail)
