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

Anonymous

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.

Our only solution so far is to move all companies over the GMAIL pro.

Very nice! It works for me too since today.

One concern/Question: the URL appears as a popup next to the Link element, similar to what an HTML title attribute would display.

So... if the Link also has a html title attribute set, what gets displayed?

Because if the title wins, then this can be very easily exploited.

Is anyone able to check/confirm what happens in such scenario?

Amazing! It works for me, too, as of today.

And, very relevant question regarding the content of the tooltip.
