Outlook 2000, with all the security patches and Office service packs, protects against sending viruses by stripping all attachments with extensions like .exe, .doc, .xls and many more.

One way around this is to zip the file and send the zipped attachment.

I'm not aware of any feature in Outlook to auto-zip files with certain extensions- that would defeat the whole purpose of the security patch.

I don't know if there's a 3rd party program that does this.

Are you sure the users aren't zipping them themselves?

This has usually been connected with QuickView Plus, release 6.0.
This release of QuickView provides for automatic zipping of files over a certain size attached to Outlook messages. You can tailor this behavior by changing QuickView's configurationoption.
Also look for a program called ?Zipout?
