Unfortunately, gmail blocks all attachments of executable files. For
most archive types, google simply extracts them and blocks them if any
executable files are present. To get around this, you can either use a
link to a file-sharing site or web server, or you can package the files
into a .7z file. This type of file isn't extracted yet, although I fully
expect google to get to that at some point in the near future. By the
way, as the dectalk archive address is through gmail, the same
requirements apply to that. I do eventually think I will move the
dectalk archive address to my personal server, but that's not high on my
list of projects right now.
