Apple designed this feature naively, and people are using it for nefarious purposes. Due to the fact that invites are recognized within e-mail messages, people who are untrusted (strangers) are being allowed to send invitations to you, which your computer then automatically adds to your calendar. > Simple solution: the default setting should be that you can only send > me calendar events and have them entered *if I invite you.* If it were me, I would only allow invites to be added if the sender is in your contacts. I'd provide a preferences setting to allow users to optionally allow even invites from strangers to be added to their calendars. And I'd even consider adding an option to "ask" (display a dialog) each time to let the user decide on a case-by-case basis: Automatically add invited events to my calendar: * Only from my contacts * From anyone * After asking me And I would let the user ignore any event /without/ notifying the host at *any* time. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
