   What everyone I know does if they need to send unsafe files by email =
is to rename them to have a "safe" extension and to send that. 
The = recipient saves it and renames it back.

  Which brings us back to the nasty question of, to what extent should
  users be protected against their own stupidity?  If Microsoft let =
these
  through, people would say they are impairing security.   In fact users
  clicking on attachments has been one of the biggest ways viruses =
spread.

  I'm wondering whether the Help File posted below has an alternative,
  since the behavior described is labelled the "default"... i.e. this =
name
  implies that some other possibility also exists.  Rich?
