It was so obvious that even thunderbird recognized it as an "Email Scam" and automatically moved it to spam.

Lol.

I had a rather weird one the other day as well: a PDF-virus coming in. Never seen one of those, so a bit surprised when I first saw one.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Millions of these emails get sent out, so mail filters would already know it's a scam.

These things are exploits in the reader\OS. Its a completely different thing. were talking about malware here.

I believe the pdf exploit allows for embedding viruses into pdf files.
