Bobby:

Zip and rename work.  I routinely use that sending stuff to Los Alamos 
and Intel.  (Great security system, huh?).  But I'm not worried about a 
malicious mdb.  It would be convenient if I didn't have to go back to a 
client and ask them to zip or rename (for some of them, that's a major 
project.)
