FWIW, Gmail's "Refresh" link is not a link:

<span class="lk" id="refresh">Refresh</span>

It is styled exactly like a link ("lk") with underlined blue text. There is 
a code, which handles onclick event on this pseudo link.

"Sign out" is a link with parameters: 
http://mail.google.com/mail/?logout&hl=en --- GWA doesn't follow links with 
parameters.

My point is it is possible to prevent GWA and similar systems from following 
your links without server-side support.

Thanks,

Eugene
