[AccessD] Emailing an .mde

The zip file works with most email systems. The only one that seemed to look
inside the zip file, in my  limited experience, is Gmail. For that system I
just reverse the extension piz. Even Gmail seems to accept the Access files
now, but maybe they have not entered accdb in their system yet. I zip all
files I email just to reduce size. For large files I use USendIt.

Some email systems look inside sent zips to verify that they don't contain
executables. That's why I rename the file. Typically I then zip the renamed
file and plonk in a readme that tells the recipient to rename it back.
