You are not necessarily right. Some extensions are never opened, as
exe, pif, com, bat, scr
There is a white list of extensions where no dialog is appearing, all
the other extensions are opened after the confirmation dialog you are
mentioning.
However, the lists of extensions are customisable in
"Options"-"Preferences"-"Protection"
so it may be possible that at your installation you will be able to
execute exe's directly from a received message.
