    They added a virus scanner. Also, it removes any .exe's or .exe's in .zip's.

      ?

      These definitely shouldn't have viruses on them. Plus they're from a number of different sources, and they're not .exe's

      The little paper clip is there, but it's got no link associated with it.

        Working for me. They added the feature today to read PDF/PS files as HTML, in addition to download.

        You using Firefox 1.5?

                  You should be able to whitelist certain sites. I haven't looked into it.

                  Send the gmail support folks an email I guess

                      Awright. Whitelisting mail.google.com makes it work.

                      Danke.

                        As a sidenote, http://calendar.google.com is an active domain now. I guess its launch is pending.

                          I tried emailing a .rar file to someone with a gmail account and it wouldn't let me. Gmail rejected it and I went to their website and it says they won't allow those file types to be emailed.

                          I had to rename the file to .gif and email it.

                          Not my error.

                          Gmail

                          I have never had that happen when emailing rar files to other people before. Only Gmail accounts.

                          BTW, this I was emailing this from my ISP email. I don't have a gmail account. I don't see a reason to get one.

                            Dude, did the .rar contain a .exe or other executable in it?
