And then there are ultimately the security concerns. I don't know about
you, but I'd prefer not to have a potential OpenOffice Macro virus have the
ability to start spamming using my computer. Nor would I want an e-mail
virus to be able to easy muck up my OpenOffice products.
Please explain how the risk of viruses is increased by using Writer's UI to
create an e-mail message (or a reply to one).
Probably a better way to reply to this, so here's I go trying to improve
it. My e-mail client (presumably) also has my address book. I know you
can send a document as an e-mail attachment in Writer, but I would
rather that if there was a virus out there that targeted OpenOffice, it
would have to use random e-mail addresses than get the e-mail addresses
of my contacts.
Everything that is done has a security risk eventually, but one of the
rules of security I thought was not to give people (or programs) access
to functions that they don't need.
