Outlook Express 6.0 : link destination obfuscation

Hello FD readers, did anyone already noticed that on Outlook Express 6.0, when a link is longer than 512 bytes, the destination is not displayed at all in the status bar ? Tested on Outlook Express 6.0 on WinXP Pro SP2 FR, does not work on Outlook 2003 Win XP SP2 FR. Ex : <a href="http://www.exemple.com/+(500 random chars)">www.bank.com</a>It could be used in phishing attacks for exemple to hide real link destination.
Could it be considered as a security issue ? Kind regards, Romain Vergniol _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
