Is there a way to send an executable file via email? Aside from from trying to disguise the file.

what are you asking exactly?

The body of an email message is either text or html. The HTML of the message can have some some scripting (eg: ActiveX, JavaScript), but most email clients do not allow that, nor do most browsers allow untrusted scripts to run.

Binary executable files have to be attachments, since they are not text or html.

I have a .exe file. I am asking if there is way to send it out via email as an attachment.

Most admins have their filters set to strip .exe files (and others). Usually you can "disguise" it by changing the extension to .txt and explaining in the message body how to save and change the ending.
