   how apple makes it easier for scammers: we just hide that ugly email address from you, what could possibly go wrong :3

     @deshipu @mntmn correct, but at this point if its not signed properly, every sensible email server will send to spam

     @mntmn Semi-related: I recently switched to an e-mail provider that shows a pop-up with what’s actually in the href of a link in an html e-mail. The pop-up asks to confirm if you want to visit that url before you are redirected. It’s so simple, but makes it so much easier for the average Joe to recognize spam links.
