Odd that Gmail doesn't have a "warn when link text uses a domain that doesn't match the link" feature. This seems trivial to implement?

@tychotithonus That would break a ton of email providers with "click tracking" that uses a domain they own and then redirect to the domain who bought service
Gmail wouldn't be able to query the link (to check the redirect) without triggering false positives on the tracking either. -
@baloo Fair point. Sure wish the click-tracking frameworks all had an easy "BYO subdomain" feature so that small shops could easily make in-domain redirects easy.

@tychotithonus @baloo I see the false positives on tracking as a good thing, as it would make it useless.
