I am lazy and don't like to type ssh me@wherever.com whenever I want to log in to a remote server to check my mail.

So, using the Terminal I created an executable file like this:

echo 'ssh myusername@server.com' > click_me
chmod 755 click_me
Then, from the Finder, get info on the file 'click_me' and set the default application to Terminal. Double-click and voila!

Even better: put the 'click_me' file in your startup applications, and your prompt will be ready and waiting at login.
