Amazonian spam

[andrewducker]

I've had two spam of a new variant today - claiming to tell me that I've cancelled an Amazon order that I never made. The links, of course, don't lead to Amazon.

Anyone else getting these?

And is there any way for me to tell that the links don't go where they appear to on an Android phone?

In the Mail app: I didn't find one in ~10secs of looking. That seems like an oversight.
In the GMail app: hold on the link, it will pop up the full correct URL and an option to copy it to clipboard.

I've logged a defect/enhancement with K9 (I use their mail client, because it supports IMAP IDLE/Push). Figured it couldn't hurt.

The official mail app, (that K9 is a spur off of), supports IMAP since Froyo. It also seems to expand every URL in situ.

They finally got IMAP IDLE working? That might be enough to get me back to using it again.
