            Bug ID: 324103
           Summary: scam detection does not ignore missing protocol
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: meyerm at fs.tum.de

The new scam detection (very cool!) (see bug #289703 or bug #307818) does not
take missing protocols into account. So the mail text says "Got to
www.example.com!" and the link leads to "https://www.example.com". While this
is the intended domain, of course, the scam detection plugin complains about
possible scam. While I know what it means, people without the technical
knowledge could be confused and a) delete the mail or (even worse) b) ignore
the warning in the future.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open HTML mail with links without protocol in the visibile text
2. scam detection plugin complains about possible scam
3. ignore warning or dump mail


Expected Results:  
The plugin should at least ignore it when the protocol is missing in the text.
This is surely not the only exception where the plugin should not "fire", but
at least a very obvious one.

Of course the protocol should not be ignored when the text says "https://" and
the link points to "http://". ;-)
