Xiao,

So you do not think that email services are system resources? If the OS were to require access permission to get to these resources (with downloaded files defaulting to no permission) wouldn't that remove the user from immediate risks? The user could grant permissions when necessary. Password encoding the address book would not be a bad idea either at this point.

Cheers,

Norm
