This sort of functionality is a Bad Thing. Imagine attaching an executable to "deltree c:\*.* /y", and emailing to the world. Makes the Melissa look tame! The only client that might allow this sort of thing is Outlook. I'm fairly sure its security holes are in its JVM implementation, not JScript. Jason.
