This depends on how you like to open them; In opera itself, or in Acrobat
Reader. Both options will let you open without saving first.(Actually, it
will be saved first, in cache(using the plugin) or 'downloads directory',
but everything is automated.)

To open in Opera, let Acrobat Reader install it's plugin to opera. If
you've already installed A.Reader, copy the file 'nppdf32.dll' from
[path to]\Acrobat Reader\Browser\, to one of Opera's plugin dir's
(plugins or program\plugins).
Then use 'Find Plugins' under Opera's multimedia-prefs and answer yes
when asked about acrobat reader.

To open in Acrobat, locate the file-type application/pdf in Opera's
prefs, (double-click it)and choose 'open with default application'.
You can 'automate' the same task by simply clicking a link to a pdf-
document, and when the dialog appears, click 'Advanced', then choose the
same option.

Sorry, I didn't pay enough attention to the subject :)
Once upon a time(in v5.something), there was possible to open links
*inside* the mail-client, but not anymore.

OOH, and he like to be called "freexone", probably because someone told
him that a big 'effer is just another old moo!
