Um, no. It might not be able to directly open files via that path, but
showing that it can never read or write your mail is a rather different

Yes. Your use case is different than mine.

So.. your use case is what? If an AA user asked you to protect his mail from his browser I'm sure you'd truthfully answer "no, we can't do that but we can protect the path to your mail from your browser".. I think not. One need only look at the wonderful marketing literature for AA to see what you are telling people it can do, and your above statement isn't consistent with that, sorry.
