FYI, I've replaced the dot with an underscore,
this works for Outlook. Then the recipient knows
what the file type is. Funny .zip files would be
rejected, their not executable unless made self extracting,
then the extension is changed to .exe.

Some IT departments are more paranoid than others.

Cheers,

It appears from your last post that the file is being rejected by some 
of the recipients virus scanners. They are the ones who must be 
rejecting all .EXE or .ZIP files.

I had a similar experience last year. I sent a .PIF file to the group 
and several recipients sent back messages that it was a virus. I had to 
change the extension to .TXT to get it to them. Then they changed it 
back to .PIF after they got it.

Strange, isn't it?
