& Mail.app !?
Authored by: mibo on Feb 23, '06 04:05:11AM

Yeah, Mail.app is a much more secure hole than Safari:

They have tested both 10.3.9 and 10.4 Mail. While Panther Mail asked what to do with the file Tiger Mail just starts the script without any asking. So mail attachments are a bigger risk to your system. Maybe somebody who uses Mail on Tiger could test the defaults write solution for Safari with Mail because Mail doesn´t seem to have a switch in it´s gui to bring up the dialog before executing scripts.
