I just change the file extension to .txt and that works for me.
Putting the .exe into a zipped folder doesn't work because gmail checks the contents of a folder.
So yes, I've always just changed the extension to .txt
The problem I've always had was that people on the other end can never figure out how to change the extension of a file.
They always end up with "MyProgram.exe.txt" because they don't know how to go into folder properties and turn off "hide known file extensions"
I really prefer to put the .exe somewhere out on the web and send them a link to download. QM forum does not allow .exe files to be uploaded to the forum.
