            Bug ID: 423246
           Summary: Obvious phishing URLs are not recognized
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.14.2
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.hurka at mailbox.org
                CC: david.hurka at mailbox.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
KMail reports me various links as being “scam”, because they contain some odd
detail, like ending with &. But a link like https://kde.оrg is not reported,
although it is obviously a phishing link. (It contains a cyrillic o and points
to https://kde.xn--rg-emc/)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Send https://kde.оrg as email to yourself

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing special

EXPECTED RESULT
Shows me some warning about a non-ascii domain name

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don’t know what scam means, the usual meaning is very vague on URLs. But
based on the previous warnings, I expected KMail to recognize phishing links.
