what if microsoft decides they not only want to load the URL in messages, but also click links and click buttons? presumably this is to detect bad/dangerous content. bad people will also just put that dangerous stuff behind a link or button if it's that easy to evade their checking.

or why exactly are they following those links again? perhaps it is for previews instead of "security"?

from the article:

> Over time, it also became OK for software to visit links in email to find out what was behind them.

why would that be OK? if i email a secret link to someone, i fully expect it to stay between the recipient and me. not some company reading along. but that's why i don't have accounts with these types of companies...
