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...
But you can help educate them about what's happening on their own
system. :)
Are you saying that Apple has plans to password protect or put up a
dialog on the first curl command issued via a shell script? ;-)
