Hi Ken, Yup, I've been there, done that too. I've seen this with many programs like Outlook\Exchange\Hotmail\Gmail\Yahoo\etc. And all you have to do is just rename the file before sending it. For example, when you try to send a file to Gmail, it won't accept an *.zip or *.exe. But it will accept a renamed *.zip or *.exe. i.e. MyZip_zip.txt or MyExe_exe.txt Just rename it back to MyZip.zip after it's downloaded.
