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.

    This has to considered a serious security screw up on the part of Microsoft. How can they just leave such a flaw in production? Every security guideline teaches ou to hover over links to see what lurks beneath. Now, you have to copy the link and put it in a text editor. 100% bizarre.
