Can't Unlock known good "phishing" email
"R. C. White" <rc[ at ]grandecom.net> 27.06.2007 15:44:05
Hi, All - especially MSFT.

In WLM beta (12.0.1184), my phishing filter is working well - maybe too
well!

WLM has flagged as a possible phishing attempt an email from another MVP,
because that email contains a link to a commercial web page - which I've
checked out. So, I click on the "Unblock Message". There's a very brief
blink - and no other change. The pink header remains pink, and the message
is still red in the message list. Repeated clicks get the same response (or
lack thereof).

Maybe my mouse is not working right. Is there a key-stroke to Unblock a
suspected phishing message?

Now that the message has been marked Read, when I look at it in the folder
where my Rule moved it, it is not pink or otherwise flagged.

Hi,

Phishing mail can also be unblocked from the context menu. You can right click on the message in the message list and choose "Junk e-mail (J)"->"Unblock (U)".

Thanks for beta testing!

Have you tried dragging it to another folder?

Hi, Hua.

Thanks for that tip.

But I still need to find out whether the failure to recognize my mouse-click
on "Unblock Message" was a problem with my specific mouse (Microsoft
Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, using the Intellipoint 6.2 drivers), or a problem
with the WLM beta.

Have other users reported this as a bug?

Phishing mail can also be unblocked from the context menu. You can right
click on the message in the message list and choose "Junk e-mail
(J)"->"Unblock (U)".

Not that I am aware of. It works as expected here with the touchpad of my
laptop.

Hi Hua, I notice you are posting from a newer version ... and you are
posting in quoted-printable encoding. Are you trying to tease OE/WM/WLM
users? ;-)

I hope that's not a change in default settings, is it?

Same issue here. I have tried all the suggested ways to unblock, Right click
"unblock" going to the junk email settings, lowering security. Nothing.
