Terribly Insecure
Authored by: onan on Jun 16, '06 12:38:15PM

Mail is a fundamentally insecure medium, and the notion of your computer just happily accepting email and automatically running things based upon it is horrifying.

Remote access to and control of your machine is a perfectly reasonable thing to desire, but mail (or IM, or remote applescript) is not the way to do it. There's a reason that Benjamin Franklin discovered ssh!
