Vista - Phishing filter is deleting embedded links

Phishing filter is deleting embedded links

I had to disable the phishing filter, because Windows Mail was deleting all embedded links, from outgoing as well as incoming mail. Is there a way to set the phishing filter so that it works without causing this problem?

Re: Phishing filter is deleting embedded links

Are you referring to IE's Phishing Filter or Norton's?

How have you determined that "the phishing filter" was deleting all embedded
links"?

Thanks for replying.

I was referring to Windows Mail's phishing filter (Tools / Junk E-mail Options / Phishing).

Trial and error: I unchecked the box for "Protect my Inbox from messages with potential Phishing links," and the problem disappeared. Unfortunately . . . the problem reappeared, and leaving the above-referenced box unchecked didn't help.

I just went to Tools / Options / Security, chose "Internet zone," and unchecked everything I could except "Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me," and the problem's gone again. I'll see if it recurs.
