10.4: Preview link URLs in Mail.app 2.0
Authored by: mithras on May 13, '05 12:28:10PM

I think Mail.app should display a warning if a link address disagrees with the link text (if the link text looks like a URL).

For example, something like

<a href="http://scammersite.cx">http://www.paypal.com</a>
should be flagged as a misleading link. I (mostly) don't worry about my mom getting viruses on OS X, but I do worry about her falling prey to phishing, and both education and software should help prevent it.
