Links from one sender not working (Pinterest)

[midori]

When I receive messages from "pinbot@inspire.pinterest.com" the links do not open via WebOfTrust.
All other sender messages have their links opened via WOT and broswer visits url correctly.

sender "pinbot@inspire.pinterest.com" is marked "legit" and is in white list.
When their links are clicked there is no WOT dialogue and browser opens https://www.google.co.uk/ search dialogue.

What are the settings to avoid this issue?

Pop Peeper 4.4.0.0 and o/s Win 7 Pro 64 bit

email account with clara.net server pop.clara.net

All messages are always perfect, including this message from Pinterest, using email client (Eudora).
This issue only shows itsekf in Pop Peeper, and only on this single sender (Pinterest)

I guess the problem with Pinterest started around 2 to 4 weeks ago.

This is a known issue with Pinterest. It's possible that other URLs *could* be affected, but Pinterest is the only one that has been reported.

Fortunately, there's a test version already available:
http://www.esumsoft.com/pop-peeper-beta/

I've already had a few people test and confirm the fix, but if you could try it and let us know if it works or not, that will help us a lot.

btw, I wanted to mention the fact that it redirects you to google. Apparently, Pinterest changed the format of the URL a few weeks ago so that the URL you click on takes you to post.pinterest.com (iirc the subdomain correctly), that URL redirects you through google, which then redirects you back to pinterest.com. That's what *should* happen, but because the URL contains a certain keyword that POP Peeper was accidentally stripping, the URL was being cut short so you'd get redirected to google, but then there wasn't enough information in the URL for google to redirect you back.

I'll leave it up to others to speculate why pinterest needs to redirect you to google and back again.

Fix has been installed and activated successfully.

The problem had dissappeared completely

Thank you

@jeff Hi, the problem has returned today.

[Jeff]

Can you send me a sample email from pinterest that exhibits the problem? Please do NOT post it in the forum as the email will contain your email address. Please email it to me (support at esumsoft dot com). Also let me know:
- What version of POP Peeper you're using (main menu: Help / About)
- What version of Windows (7, 8, 10, etc.)
- And what version of Internet Explorer (if you're not using Win10)

[Jeff]

Unfortunately, I didn't mention what version included the fix when I mentioned the "test version" above; however, v4.4.2 (the version you currently have) was released on June 16 and my post was in July, so the fix will be in v4.5 and hasn't been released yet (there has been an elusive bug; knock on wood...). You can download the latest v4.5 RC7 (which was just released yesterday) from the same URL which includes the pinterest fix:
