Hovering over a hyperlink in the "new" outlook doesn't display the actual URL. How can this be remedied.

A very dangerous behavior in the new outlook is that hoving the mouse pointer over a hyperlink in an email no longer displays the actual URL of the link.

Seeing the true URL is the #1 way people can avoid getting email scammed. Removing this tool is inviting people to get defrauded. This should not be a default behavior and I cannot see how to resolve this.

    Since it is inconsistent (it works on some, but not others), I'm not sure support can say it is "by design". We just need it to be available for everyone, and it's important that this happens ASAP!

    Strange...

    However, I see that Ted and I have the same WebView2 version 126.0.2592.113.

    Albeit different Build and Client versions.

    What WebView2 version do you have Vincent?

    Oddly, I do have hover-to-reveal (at least on this reply from Jeremy) but my version is short of what he says fixed it for him

    SO.. can we call this fixed. 'Til they break it, again?

    Seems this may have been quietly resolved in build 1.2024.717.400 (Production).

    URL's are being displayed again when you hover the mouse over links.

    Redacted example:
