Disable Hyperlinks on incoming emails

Hi
We are wondering if Exchange 2010 can be configured to remove or disable the actual hyper link on all incoming emails. I know we can set email format to plain text and outgoing hyperlinks wouldn't be allowed. We want to make the user copy and paste the hyperlink from an incoming email to their browser. Kinda a are you sure you want to open this??
Do you know if that can be globally configured in Exchange 2010

For Outlook clients one can download and install the Office ADMX Group Policy structures and turn on Read As Plain Text to disable HTML viewing.

This won't pluck the hyperlinks out but it lays bare the fact that what it says and where it goes are two different things.

Make sure users are prepared in advance. Folks can get really unhappy with this setting really quick.

On the OWA side I'm not sure.

Thanks for that comment. We wouldn't do the plain text :( cause as you said, users won't like the looks of the emails. We don't care about OWA.

Philip, The link you sent me, do you think that is the right avenue for on-premise Exchange as well as Office365?

I believe so. If enough folks call for a better kind of filter on incoming e-mail the team would listen.
