Hi,

I can't see this on the wishlist, nor, from the archive does it appear
to have been discussed on this list before.

Would it be possible to change the way Squirrelmail displays URLs in
the browser status bar to make it more obvious when a received e-mail
is of the "phishing" variety?

For example, a recent e-mail contained the link:

<a 
href="http://150.183.249.104/.include/l/l.html";>https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/applypassword.ibc</a>

When you hover the mouse over this link in Squirrelmail (we are running
version 1.4.3a) the status bar shows:

        https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/applypassword.ibc

If you hover the mouse over the same link in Mozilla Mail the status bar shows:

        http://150.183.249.104/.include/l/l.html

which helps the user to spot that the e-mail is a fraud.

Would it be possible for Squirrelmail to be made to behave in the
same way?

Thanks,

Dave
