Hi all

As I wrote last year:

Some strip zip files from e-mails to avoid vira and spyware, thus cab
files can be a valid alternative for attaching compressed files.

You can use a MS command line util for this (cabarc.exe or
makecab.exe)
or a freeware tool like CabPack 1.4, but did you know that Internet
Explorer comes with a GUI wizard-type wrapper for CabArc called
IExpress?

Just type iexpress at the Run entry in the Start menu. When finished,
it offers to save your settings as a "sed" file so you easily can
repeat
a packing session.

Does anyone know what the logic is for blocking zip files?  I run into
this occasionally and it drives me nuts!  You zip files to avoid the
filters that won't accept an mdb, etc., and then you run into filters
that won't accept the zip files.  Oops, Catch-22.  That drumming you
hear is my head pounding against the wall ....
