Using Gmail, Calendar and Docs without an Internet...
gmail does not allow executable attachments - even when zipped, it will inspect the inside of the zip file and reject the executable.

As a developer who sometimes have to send a zipped project with a compiled build inside, I find this "feature" extremely annoying. I usually end up renaming the file from .zip to .lol or similar.

Switch to 7zip. It is more efficient than zip and it passes through Gmail fine and you then don't need to worry about renaming files
