I have done the same: I absolutely refuse to receive exe, bmp, doc,
xls and similar files. Sender can zip them as far as I am concerned.
Some files can be very large so I donot want them unless I am told in
advance  and any executables should not be send as such: imagine I send
a *.reg file around, how many people would acidentally click on it.
maybe not batowners(g) bit there are other mail clients.
