Subject: PDF's unsafe?

Embedded executable attachments - could be any type.

Adobe (Reader from version 6 & full version from version 5) allows to open

and execute them manually.

Adobe built-in JavaScript and auto events do not allow execute the
attachments

(at least from my tries, somebody could be more successful)
