| 788109 | 2009-07-02 06:29:00 | I have been using a mail program called called " Free Agent" since Windows95. Recently I tried to send a copy zipped up in an attachment to a friend who has Gmail. Google refused to accept it on the grounds that it was a Virus. I realise that there is a virus named 'agent' but this program was around before Google existed! It would seem that the name is important which is illogical. I change all the relevant file names & re zipped it. Still no go. Sent the original via clear.net & had no problems. |

| 788110 | 2009-07-02 06:39:00 | Change FreeAgent.zip to FreeAgent.old, send it, get you friend at the other end to change it back to .zip once it is on the computer. QED. | zqwerty (97) | ||
