Well in my case, the script only let's you send email in a specific
format (i.e. Hey ______, Your friend _______ sent you _____), but
thats a good point. It's not an unsolvable problem though, all you
need is some way to make sure the request is really coming from your
application, like assigning a client certificate when they activate or
something.
