10.5: Smart copy/paste from Safari to Mail

This reminds me of the "security" of flash in emails ...

Already tested all major mail clients and found Mac Mail to be vulnerable, btw. the only mua vulnerable to this kind of exploit.
Flash really is exploitable/scriptable BIG time - so if mail still plays flash out of the box this is probably to be considered a major security bug. I guess we will see this sooner or later on some security mailing list.
