Gopher attack? (not a sighting just a question)

[fc () all net (Dr. Frederick B. Cohen)]

I was thinking about the sendmail attack working from the inside as
opposed to the outside and it occured to me that gopher sends email
(upon request) to transmit a file to the person using the gopher server.
Could this be used (by sending the mail to another user on the gopher
server) to launch the sendmail attack as an insider?  Probably not,
but I just thought I'd ask.
