Since you don't know the environment, I won't bother to respond to
vunerability.
Ok. How can [EMAIL PROTECTED] know if the attached executible file is

understand in someone else's context.

organization would be far less vulnerable. Use the ordinary
zip files instead.

By "console operator", I mean you, the user, or whoever is
sitting at your keyboard when your mail is being read.
