So Yes, Webwise is a very useful tool and should be welcomed with open arms by the masses who are not that tech-savvy.
I get several quite plausible phishing emails in my Hotmail every day. The Hotmail that I use for registering on sites such as this one. They usually fall into the Junk file, but occasionally one gets through. Of course I'm not daft enough to fall for them, but many are - they generate huge revenues for the Nigerian economy. So there is a real need for Webwise, and the tinkering with privacy is a small price to pay for such a wonderful service.

What are you talking about?
Webwise doesn't involve intercepting or in anyway interacting with webmail or any other form of email traffic so in what way will affect the amont of spam you receive?
Unless, of couse, you know differently and Phorm are planning on intercepting emails despite claiming that they on't and despite the fact the ISPs have said that they can't and despite the fact that this would be totally illegal even under the "advice" given by the ICO.
