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.

    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.

    I tried the proposed solution of repairing the EdgeWeb2View component and it still does not provide the URL when I hover over the link. As Ted Bush stated, even if it had, it's not a viable solution to widely deploy. Please advise.

    Hey. Yes, it shows the URL when I hover just like in old Outlook.
