Current releases of Outlook will ever-so-helpfully *automatically*
decompress .zip files for you and *automatically* attempt to display the
content. "Current" being Outlook XP and Outlook 2k3 - I don't see this
behavior with Outlook 2k.
That and some end users are more stupid than you can possibly imagine.
Keep in mind too that SMTP isn't it's only propogation method.
