   Came across this looking at some older posts.   
   Something I've successfully used many times   
   in the past is to simply change the file   
   extension (to ".txt" for example) and let the   
   recipient know to save it with the correct   
   extension. If the mailer only looks at the   
   file name this gets through. Have not had to   
   do this for quite a while, so YMMV.
