When I send an email to Mike Scano, using the email address you suggest, it fails to go through. I get the following message:

Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently:

Reason: Permanent Error

Hi guys,

Eric B. tells me you've been having problems sending attachments through email.  If you're using Outlook (any version), this is because the Microsoft security update from about a week ago created a weird problem.  Any attachment with an ! symbol or more than two .. in a row in its file name gets identified as a potential threat and gets blocked by Outlook (for your safety, of course).  

The fix is one of two things.

What I did was to uninstall the last Outlook 2007 security update from my computer.  Once I did that, everything was fine.

If you don't like option #1, then you could just name your game file without ! symbols.

Hope this helps until Microsoft resolves the problem. ( they are aware of it).

Here's a link to the bug report:

Thanks for the info. My brother just experienced that problem and I was trying to research the cause for him. This saved me a lot of time.

Windows Live Mail will check your Outlook mail, and not give any problems!
