+IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE:
+------------------------
+
+ActiveDVI may execute programs and commands embedded into the DVI
+file. Hence, when playing a DVI file from an untrusted source, you
+should run advi with the -safer option that inhibits the execution of
+embedded applications. This warning applies in particular if you
+choose ActiveDVI as your default meta-mail previewer for the
+application/x-dvi mime-type.
+
+The ActiveDVI manual in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/advi/ explains how to use
+the program securely.
