Most of the time simply renaming extensions is not enough to trick an email app from stripping the contents of the attachment. Why not just zip/unzip the file?MCSE 2003, MCSA 2003, LPIC-1, MCP, MCTS: Vista Config, MCTS: SQL Server 2005, CCNA, A+, Network+, Server+, Security+, Linux+, BSCS (Information Systems) -

You probably need to go into folder options and turn on show file extensions for known types (or whatever it's called). I assume that you can't rename it because you can't see the extension. Is that right?
Edit: Sometimes the zip trick doesn't work either because the filter will look through the contents of the archive. I haven't tried password protecting it though. I'm not sure if the filter would just allow it or filter it because it can't access it. I suppose it depends how it was configured... -
