Gmail, report phishing?

[edward78]

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8253?hl=en that says open the email, what about 0 click attacks. Any way to report a mail without opening? On the same page, it says post to community, how? I open it, see no post button.

click the check box off to the side then at the top click report spam.

Yes, I was hoping to report Phishing. Why no toolbar button for that google?

Because you should have to see the email before being able to report it as phishing. Just report it as spam or delete it, they won't do much with it either way anyways lol.

Use a better email client if you can't trust yours not to do something dumb. I recommend email clients without a html viewer, but if that's not possible, at least they shouldn't load external resources without a button press.

This....just turn off download content / HTML viewing if your worried about your mail client running code, I thought most email clients fixed this anyways...

It's amazing how many mail clients simply default to the html view--one of the reasons these tactics are so successful.
