Brian, Mucho Big ThanX for starting this Important and very much
looonngg over-due Thread. Bravo!

Most all other Mail applications I've used in the past have had
a setting in their Preferances to enable or dis-able/what-to-do
whenever such incoming Reciepts(requests for) have arrived, and
I've long wondered about this topic since moving over to using
Apple Mail, nada-zilch in Prefs, ditto in it's Help files. I do
hope that one of the Gurus here on List will tell us All how-to
corral/stop/prevent/fix such security breaches(that Apple should
have built into Mail from the get-go) ? , without having a need
for us to revert/changing our choice to someother application
(more securitywise.. ie: Eudora? or ThunderBird?) for all of
(or some) our mail correspondence purposes to regain our own
self-wellbeing and comfort concerning security controls. Are
you tuned-in here Apple?

Any and All ideas, suggestions and help to List will be very
much appreciated and bigtime welcomed. TIA

Respectful of GURUs
