It is unlikely. In an effort to defend against viruses, spyware and other malicious files, e-mail services block sending messages with executable file types (e.g. .exe, .zip and .bat). However, there are a few ways to circumvent this obstacle. For example, in Gmail, you can send .rar file types (i.e. created by WinRAR) but not .zip (i.e. created with WinZip. In addition, you can change the file type to fool the e-mail service. For example, rename a file "xxyyzz.exe" to "xxyyzz.rtf." You would be surprise at how effective this simple trick works - just be sure to change the file extension back to the original one. There is however one other factor you need to consider. Many e-mail services restrict the size of any given message with or without an attachment. To the best of my knowledge, most popular e-mail services (Yahoo!, Gmail and Hotmail) limited a message to 10MB, which is fine for text files but not necessarily executable files.

.BAS That is Basica or GW-Basic. WOW, have not used that programme in ages. ;-)
In answering your question. The way around this is to zip your documents. The next bit would be to rename the last extensions to that of say .DOC . This way they would be read as Word documents. And when the other person gets them they rename the extension to the original.
Renaming a file extension is not fully allowed in Win XP, so my bet is to get a PC with say Win 2K or even a true DOS system. Wics you luck.

Certantly there is not, as you probably knows this is harmfull for them and users, because this files (.exe) could be malicius programs and (.bat) can be used to programatically make bad things to you computer calling any .vbs or .exe file.
Try zipping then before uploaded to the email site.
That's what I do!

Probably not, but it is common practice for us to change the extension to txt and then change it back once received. Or Winzip the file before sending.
