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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
