The easiest thing to do is ask the sender to resend it zipped. But, if you can't you can check this out, it should help.

Best,

There should be an option in the Options dialog to allow these attachments. I know there's one for Outlook Express.

Nope, not for Outlook. It maintains two lists, one of extensions to never allow, and a second of less dangerous extensions which can be configured. Exe's fall in the first so you need third party tools to extract the attachment from the store.
