Interesting Linux does not offer such protections. I would have thought it would.

That's for downloaded files.

Snit
Which is what I did... downloaded them.

No, you downloaded a tarball that contained those files.

Snit
So in your mind when you download a tarball you are not downloading the contents of it? Interesting perspective. Just so you can see how macOS protects you from such things:

I am pretty sure for the first time I downloaded it I was not even given the option to say "OK" -- had to right-click and select open (there are also other methods). Could be macOS recognizes it as the same file? But then why show the dialog at all? Maybe I missed it -- do not think so.

Let's try something...

From that video, it looks like your broken-ass newsreader chopped off everything below the inline uuencoded file. If that's true, then you won't be able to see this part. That would be a way for people to reply publicly to your messages and make you look like an idiot, but you would not even be aware of it. LOL. Let me know if you or one of your socks can read this.

I'm going to snip the rest of this boring crap and see how this experiment turns out.
