Hello, Michele and all, GMail doesn't allow you to attach .exe (or .zip with .exe files in them) to the e-mails. A solution is to make the archive in .rar format, or even better (and free) - .7z. But that will require additional software (like the free 7-Zip) to unpack the archived files. The limitation about .exe (and .zip with .exe files within) in GMail is in order to protect the users against malicious attacks via attached executable files. That causes some inconveniences, but that's the way it is for now ? .
