I just tried sending two versions to Pat, one the suspect tarball, the other an 'rar' type file; the gmail accepted the rar but rejected the tarball, saying;
"this file contains an executable and is not allowed"; both the rar and the tarball contain executables? they both have them encapsulated in compression files,
yet the gmail balks at one and not the other? --kurtwb2ztn@....

Gmail blocks executables, some archives with contained executables and  
some archives generally. This also depends on the archive type and  
encryption. (Even worse, incoming mails might be blocked without you or  
the sender being told.)

Kurt, I usually send such zip files renamed to .aaa and bypasses that
annoyance. Just make sure to tell the picker to do the rename Back ;)

Regrettably even BMP's count as "executables" for Gmail :-D

For me a ZIP missnamed as ARC used to work in the past.
If not, just brew a ZIP or 7-ZIP and trash a few bytes at beginning of
the file :-)
