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:

and

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.
