            Bug ID: 385998
           Summary: Scam detection reads GnuPG output, giving false
                    positives
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: creideiki+kdebugs at ferretporn.se
  Target Milestone: ---

This is for version 5.6.2, which is not an available alternative.

GnuPG key BF8806F188590D8F includes a user ID containing an HTTPS URL. When
looking at a mail signed by that key, KMail complains that it is a scam,
citing:

   This email contains a link
(mailto:https://censored,address@censored,address@censored,https://censored)
which contains multiple http://. This is often the case in scam emails.

Scam detection should only operate on the text of the e-mail itself, not
locally generated GnuPG output.
