html ancor tag / URL scam protection

J

Jamie Clayton

I've noticed that there is an obvious security check that could be applied to
Outlook HTML emails that contain Ancor tags <a hef="Actual URL">Display
URL</a> contained in spam or scam emails. If a Display url include http://
and the actual http:// url are different then the user should be notified
that it is a junk email or warned if they click on that link. This might
alleviate a whole stack of internet security problems.
