[OSM-talk] From the register

[john whelan]

Just a comment from a security point of view a message with just a
link in it is often a link to Malware.  The links have two parts a
visible part and a nonvisible bit that takes you to a web site.

If one looks doubtful the recommendation is to copy the visible link
and paste it in the browser rather than click on the link.

This one is genuine but a bit of relevant text helps to give context
and reassurance.  People who create Malware often don't want to spend
the time writing relevant text.  Just because you recognise the
sender's name doesn't mean they sent it.

The app looks very good as does the system on which it is based.
