Distribution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 1) Package: Evolution Severity: enhancement Version: GNOME2.8.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: No links to false URL Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Many spam mail uses false URL and evolution makes then easy to click, even it shows real address in bottom line. Would you please add one check that if link text looks like URL, it must point the same address, or there is no link or the link is red. example: <a href="http://www.postcards10.home.ro/postcards.gif.exe>http://www2.postcards.org/?a91-valets-cloud-31337</a> should NOT shown as link I think this is very inportant security feature and easy way to prevent malicious programs. -- Pekka J\xE4rvel\xE4inen CSC, the Finnish IT Center for Science +358 9 457 2467 P.O.
