I for one think we had a healthy discussion. I saw a couple of new
dimensions to the issue. It's a discussion that ought to go wider, too.
In the meantime, you don't need any third party tool to email .exe
files, because Win XP already comes with the answer in its built-in
support for file compression. Just Zip any prohibited file before
emailing it, and it will go through without complaint.
Of course, you might want to check what's in any Zip archive someone
sends you...

I guess started a larger than life discussion. It seems to have gone way
overboard (or has it?). All I was complaining about was the fact that
any
software producer prohibits activities that I think they should allow AT
LEAST a work-around. If they want to block exe files, and some people
want
it, fine. But at least have the decency to have a way one can get out of
this set up, built in to the program, not make the user look for third
party
vendors to provide a solution.
That's my two cents worth and I'm sorry tempers flared on what I think
is a
legitimate request from Microsoft (or anybody).
