            Bug ID: 425219
           Summary: suspicious URL warning system gives false negative for
                    URL with port number
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.14.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at equaeghe.nospammail.net
  Target Milestone: ---

KMail gave a warning when a URL in a plain text email contained a port number.
It said that

“This email contains a link which reads as 'https://example.com:443/blablabla'
in the text, but actually points to 'https://example.com/blablabla'. This is
often the case in scam emails to mislead the recipient”

KMail should be a bit smarter here. I actually also think that this kind of
warning message is not appropriate for plain text emails in any circumstance.
(Other types of URL warnings may be.)

N.B.: Missing period at end of warning.
