This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If it's an executeable with dependencies in the archive it might not run without being unpacked.

The greentext says "he asks for some files", that doesn't sound like an executable, which usually gets blocked by the mail system anyway (even in a zip, if there's no password on it).

But yeah, that is one way to have it broken, besides Windows refusing to run a random .exe

You can't email exes, but once you zip it there is no exe, it's a zip. If outlook automatically unpacks and scans the zip (which i doubt) you can always password lock the archive

Edit: And my email them i mean attach them in outlook
