Apologies to Peter and anybody else on the list who may have got the
impression that I'm able to exploit other people's Macs using Missing Link
and URL redirection.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I typed the sentence quoted above.

But the bit about the URL stuff does work:

See how sorry I am?

And see how easy it is to demonstrate a script to list members - providing
they're using Panther of course...

Hmm, actually that got me a bit pissed off.

I was working on a script at the time. I had made some major changes to it when I went back to my e-mail to check something. While I was there I saw your e-mail, clicked on the url to see what it was about and your script appeared in Script Editor. Annoyed at the pop-up I closed it, finished what I was doing in Mail and then went back to Script Editor to continue my work.

However, the damned auto-open had used my already open script window to display the script!! When I closed the window I didn't realize that it had typed over my already open script.

So I ended up losing a good 1/2 hour of work to a inane little script opened by a "feature" that is nothing but annoying. Yeah my dumbass fault for not saving but that's beside the point. The "auto-open a script when you click a e-mail" is worse than annoying, it is destructive.

So now I've learned my lesson and now I'm blocking everything from that domain that you linked to.
