Kmail is marking this email as possible spam but my ISP actually marked it as spam and moved it into the Spam folder. :)
Kmail's reason is:-
This email contains a link which reads as 'https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/2.9/%5C' in the text, but actually points to 'https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/2.9'. This is often the case in scam emails to mislead the recipient
Reasonable confusion. %5C shows it thinks there's a backslash character '\' that it has translated ('man ascii' to see ASCII hexadecimal code is 0x5C).
If you whiz down the email you'll find the line in the text and there is a backslash character, which denotes line continutation and on the next line it begins ' libxml2-2.9.13.news'.
Yes, but there is actually no link in the mail at all. The mail is plain text. Plain text does not contain markup such as links.
