Hi, I was searching on how to get rid of the Potentially Dangerous URL warning, which is bothering my Horde users a lot and I've found this Jan's post: >This is nothing to worry about, as you know the source of that link and >can trust. It can't (and probably shouldn't) be disabled at the moment. >It's a security feature. I think this reasoning is overlooking the [absolutely useless IMHO] scaring effect it has on a group of novice users and it's unseen in any other webmail program I've ever used. This extra click is just annoying and I strongly doubt anyone can assess a "Potentially Dangerous URL", not knowing what the danger might be and for what, except the Horde developers themselves; then if s/he has the "guts", s/he will click anyway, as s/he would have done without the warning. Otherwise, s/he will just stop using Horde and check his email thru a yahoo.com external POP account, where the absence of the warning will make him/her feel "safer". Therefore I think is should be an user option, if not an admin option, to disable this so called "security feature", at admin's risk, if you want to say so. brunus -- Chora mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#chora Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [email protected]
