James...please reread my mail...this is NOT a problem with me sending exe attachments...I can send them fine...it's a problem with me RECEIVING exe attachments in Outlook 2003 beta Reread my original message and see if what you suggested applies ;-) There is no way I can send an email to people telling them I can't receive exe files if I don't know who the people even are.
