GMail is one of the only email services I know that intrudes into the
contents of compressed files and rejects them if an executable is
found. This seems way over-the-top and somewhat intrusive and kills
productivity in a lot of situations.
This needs to be Optional at least. We should have a Setting in our
account as such:
-----------
Don't reject compressed file (ZIP, Rar) attachments that contain
executable files.
----------
Problem solved.
Considering that the work around for this is as simple and annoying as
renaming the extension (ex. ".zip_"), we deserve a more elegant and
empowering solution. Please don't let this wonderful Email service be
tainted by this type of problem.
