So, Apple hasn't fully addressed this problem yet. (Trust me, I've tested it.) If you are responsible for Macs and you haven't read this yet, you need to:
Safari and Mail. Sure, agreed, but they do move quickly to fix problems publicly known, and I'm very confident that they'll shortly also release a fix for the filetype/app problem (what could be considered the main problem I guess). Apple actually *do* tend to position security over functionality, unlike Microsoft (do?/has?), when the way something that was introduced as a feature is shown to be insecure, they change it to make it more secure, rather than saying "It's what our users want! It's a feature, not a bug." Granted though, users feeling more secure can certainly lead to lapses in security through complacency, that's the same on any platform.
