I tried adding the sender (the entire email address) and I still couldn&#8217;t click on links. I had to explicitly turn on links to make it work. Overall, I think the anti-phishing is a good thing (just like how images aren&#8217;t loaded by default), but I would have expected it to work after adding the domain to my safe senders list. If the feature is a hassle to use, then people just won&#8217;t use it and will end up turning on all the links.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received the latest issue of the Windows Secrets newsletter.
