Yep!! but itz upto you whether u want to enable the plugin. And it analyses the body of the message for clues and only on a positive .. it’ll popup the reminder. And also you could disable the plugin at anytime ..

Interesting concept but scanning body of the message is not something that everyone would feel comfortable about. Of course, this might be an open source client side application but still, more than enough to raise the eyebrows of a security paranoid joe, IMO of course.

What you mean by ‘Security Threat’? I dont see any threat here .. Atleast ’sacnning’ happens every second on a mail client ..
