If you try to have your applescript (studio or straight script editor)
create a mail & automatically send it, Mail will pop a new dialog box
which basically says you cannot do this without hitting "OK" the first
time--then it will allow you to send the mails without user
intervention--until you quit Mail and start it up again!
It's a nice security feature, but I wish Apple would allow you to at
least turn it off by preference--some scripts are made to mail results
without a user sitting there.
It is intended to happen once per use of Mail, so if you always keep
Mail running, you won't get bothered with dialogs.
There are problems with it being a preference, though, as it could
conceivably be circumvented via a script.
Personally, I'd like to see it perhaps be done on a per-script basis,
such that after you've approved one particular script, it has the
rights to continue to execute.
Any suggestions would be welcome. We're very concerned about potential
security issues and have perhaps erred on the of caution in this case.
