Todd,

Could it be possible to disable Links that are sent to me in Private Messages? It can help prevent the possibility of accidently clicking on the link in the PM. I would consider this to be a Security enhancement; like most email, you have the option to enable or disable it and help keep the baddies out.

Not a bad idea.  Are you getting spam in your PM?  Don't forget to click "Report as Spam" on any PM you get where the person has clearly mis-used PM to send spam.  On top of that, your idea definitely has merit.  Thanks for suggesting it.

No, not getting SPAM; however, when someone sends a link, we would like to prevent the possibility of accidently clicking on it until it is security checked.

If it's not broke (a problem): Don't fix it!

This is a Proactive Security measure, not a Problem report.

If you want to be Proactive: Don't click on any links in your Private Messages until you Security Check them.

"...prevent the possibility of accidently clicking on it..."; hmm, appears these words not registering.

If you're that accident prone (paranoid): You should restrict you're own computer usage, not everyone elses.

I guess this is when you stage a PM Event: Where you send out PM's with Unsafe Links in them to Prove Your Point that it's a Big Problem (Security Exposure) and needs to be Fixed! LOL!

PS: If you don't use one: You should consider using a HOSTS file. (It'll keep you from going to unsafe websites when you click on unsafe links)

This not an extreme request; Outlook makes this available for the very reason we are making the request.

Your replies have not changed our opinion on this matter; although, it has made you suspect as to why you would be apposed to such an option.
