It would be possible to write such an apple script, however by default before Mail.app would run the script it would open a dialogue box and ask permission from the user. If the user is willing to run anything sent to them there is not much you can do about security.
Provided you are not required to click on the ad page to start the count down timer this will lead to another benefit of tabbed browsing. Open the link and have it load the ad in the background until it redirects to the page you actually wish to see. Of course if you expect me to wait an 15 additional seconds to see the content on your website you?d better have better content than anyone else and if you do I'd much rather pay a subscription fee.
Until the next time they run windows update and Microsoft installs a print to Xdoc option similar to Acrobats print to PDF option and a Xdoc reader. The only people who will have trouble printing or reading this new format are people running Linux, BSD or Mac OS X (if they haven't purchased Office X). This seams precisely what Microsoft would want establish a new web standard that is beholden to them making it harder to use an alternative operating system.
