Description meyerm 2013-08-27 08:37:12 UTC 
The new scam detection (very cool!) (see bug #289703 or bug #307818) does not take missing protocols into account. So the mail text says "Got to www.example.com!" and the link leads to "https://www.example.com". While this is the intended domain, of course, the scam detection plugin complains about possible scam. While I know what it means, people without the technical knowledge could be confused and a) delete the mail or (even worse) b) ignore the warning in the future.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open HTML mail with links without protocol in the visibile text
2. scam detection plugin complains about possible scam
3. ignore warning or dump mail


Expected Results:  
The plugin should at least ignore it when the protocol is missing in the text. This is surely not the only exception where the plugin should not "fire", but at least a very obvious one.

Of course the protocol should not be ignored when the text says "https://" and the link points to "http://". ;-)
