Another workaround, whether you want to send the file compressed or uncompressed, is to rename the last letter (E or P, for EXE and ZIP) to an underscore (_), so the extensions become EX_ and ZI_. On the receiving end, all you have to do is change the underscore back to the correct letter and the file behaves as if nothing happened.

As a workaround,
you can create a zip file,
and then ask winzip to create a *.UUE file (ACTIONS->UUENCODE).

GMAIL accepts this *.UUE file OK.

I think this is a bad thing; Google should not be telling us what we should and shouldn’t send to each other. Are they becoming the new Microsoft?
