SUMMARY Bogus scam warning with trailing space in link text. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Read an email like this in kmail. OBSERVED RESULT Big warning in red reading "This email contains a link which reads as 'https://1stdomains.nz/renew ' in the text, but actually points to 'https://1stdomains.nz/renew'. This is often the case in scam emails to mislead the recipient" EXPECTED RESULT No warning. I'm not too worried about a trailing space in the link text. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS 5.19.3 (21.12.3) Linux (x86_64) release 5.14.21-150400.24.21-default openSUSE Leap 15.4
Do you have a test case please ?
You mean an actual email where someone has put a link into the body where the link text in the HTML is the same as the link except with an added space at the end? It wouldn't take more than 5 seconds for anyone to make such an email.
Created attachment 158471 [details] Email with bogus scam warning Show this email, in kmail - default HTML off. kmail shows "This message may be a scam. (Details...)" and offers to move it to wastebin. Details: "This email contains a link which reads as 'https://status.voyager.nz/ ' in the text, but actually points to 'https://status.voyager.nz/'. This is often the case in scam emails to mislead the recipient" A trailing space in the path part of the link text is not a scam.
