It is completely and entirely a function of Mail and Mac OS X and has
nothing to do with the actual email.
Although all this may be neat to the end user I dislike it simply on
the
level that there's interaction between my machine and .mac which I
didn't
initiate and have no control over. It's this kind of interactions with
scripting thrown in that causes all kinds of security holes under
Windows
and I do NOT want to see this develop into the same kind of thing on
OS X.
Hi Doug,
Don't stress too much about it. The photo is nothing more than the
Address Book autofill feature. I highly doubt that it could be
exploited in any usable way. In much the same way that Network Time
keeps your computer clock in sync, Mail downloads photos of people.
