That's gonna be devastating to the three people who use Mail.app
With the Mail.app pegging their CPU to 100%, those three people are unlikely to notice. Frankly, it's unlikely for the attacker to be able to do anything either, aside from force-terminating Mail.app. (Disclaimer: I want to like Mail.app, but I don't need another fan in my office.)
