The scam detector wrongly identifies Bruce Schneir's CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter for October 15, 2013 as a scam. The "details" dialog says This email contains a link which points to a numerical IP address (baseball2.2ndhalfplays.com) instead of a typical textual website address. This is often the case in scam emails. That is not a numerical IP. The link _is_ part of an example of a purported NSA malware site, but I don't think that's what KMail is trying to warn be about... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Subscribe to CRYPTO-GRAM at http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram.html. 2. Get it to send you the Oct 15, 2013 issue. 3. Open the issue. Actual Results: The scam warning appears on the message. Expected Results: No scam warning should appear, or no warning about the above link should appear.
please save mail as mbox and attach it to this bug report. I don't want to subscribe to mailling. thanks
