    If it’s an executeable with dependencies in the archive it might not run without being unpacked.

      The greentext says “he asks for some files”, that doesn’t sound like an executable, which usually gets blocked by the mail system anyway (even in a zip, if there’s no password on it).

      But yeah, that is one way to have it broken, besides Windows refusing to run a random .exe

          Outlook blocks it by default so if you allow exe’s to be emailed… you’re pretty stupid.

        You can’t email exes, but once you zip it there is no exe, it’s a zip. If outlook automatically unpacks and scans the zip (which i doubt) you can always password lock the archive

        Edit: And my email them i mean attach them in outlook
