Read this if thinking about doing the Office XP thing..

[Vis]

Its an article that dicusses how the new office apparently stops some 30 different kinds of file types from being sent via email in outlook 2002. Included are .exe's, etc..short of a registry hack which MS refuses to release at this time, there is NO way to disable this. So if you need to receive files via email, dont install it.

I have the final release of O2002 and it runs like a champ, I haven't experienced any of these symtoms.

If there is a problem, pack the .exe up in rar, ace or zip.
