Cricket,
We're rightfully concerned that someone could send out an Applescript
application via email that, when run, will silently (no UI) send out
personal data without the user's knowledge that this is taking place.
Well, if I were in that business, I wouldn't use Mail.app to transmit
the info via email. I would just write a shell script that transferred
those data via a post. There is just no way you can protect the user
from executables...
