Security hole between iCal and Mail?

Apple Releases iCal

Hello world,
Has anyone noticed that when using iCal to invite other individuals to events (say meetings), Mail immediately reports the following warning:
Warning
An AppleScript is attempting to send a message. Do you want to allow this automated message to be sent? If you click OK, all other automated messages will be sent without asking first until you quit Mail.
Huh? That strikes me, at least, as rather omninous. Especially as responding to the meeting invitations you receive results in the same warning.
This seems like a very tempting spot for a trojan horse or some other such spoof. Thoughts?
