Microsoft Outlook arrogance

I can’t believe this! Outlook (2000 SR-1) adds a so-called security feature that blocks email attachments with certain extensions (generally, extensions that indicate executables) and there just is no way around this blockage. I mean what the fuck? Are we all to be treated as children now because Microsoft doesn’t think we can make decisions on our own? A programmer friend sent me a little utility and we couldn’t understand what was happening, why I couldn’t get this copied off. Finally he had to re-send it as a Zip file, which just goes to show that this Microsoft decision adds security only on paper. Evangelize this, Scoble, and explain why of all the MS bloggers, none are on the Outlook/Office team.
