Skype allows you to do that, and I think it's quite useful when you are away
(because you cannot accept it) or when you are busy (because you don't want
dialogs disturbing you.
We could have this depending on the status:

[ ] Auto accept file transfers (default disabled)
    [ ] When I'm away or busy (default option)
    [ ] Always

I don't see a big security risk, the option will be disabled by default and the
file is not run, is just saved... And by the way, did anyone ever reject a file
transfer from one of his contacts?

I just realized that If we want to implement this there is another issue: what
to do if the file already exist. For sure we don't want to allow to overwrite a
file automatically, so it should be renamed.
We should have some way to let the ft-handler know that the channel was
automatically accepted and that it should just rename the file without asking.
Any idea about how to do it?
