Gmail Illegal Attachment Fix

Jump to Comments

Recently I’ve had some problems receiving .exe and .zip (with an .exe file zipped in it) files as attachments with Gmail. It pissed me off for a while because I figure what’s the point of the 2 gig goodness when you can’t receive space-hogging programs from your friends? Fortunately for me tech-recipes.com has posted a fix. Now, I admit I haven’t tried it yet, but it makes sense and sounds simple enough. Any one with comments on this or other Gmail problems/fixes fel free to let me know.

    It works. I just tried it.

    Either change the exe-extension to something else or put the exe-file in a zip folder and change the zip-extension. I did the latter and changed the extension to “zip2″.
