I think this would be kinda cool. Not sure if it could potentially cause security problems though? I think that this is probably the biggest reason for all the Outlook viruses out there for example. Btw, this is kind of already possible via CORBA interfaces, although those interfaces are not all

I think you did not understand what I said. I do not want scripts to be part of e-mail such as what Outlook does. I want to be able to have certain events of Outlook to call scripts. If this is a security problem, then Evolution is A BIG SECURITY THREAT! I mean you can actually call an external pr
