I recently tried to email someone a .tar.gz of some .py files, and their academic email (large US university, hosted gmail) refused to let it pass. I was left to wonder what kind of research they do there.

Research with modern tooling like git?

I still believe you should be able to send files through email. Why should I setup a git server( static ip + domain name) to share a piece of code? What's next? "Modern tooling" like Google Docs instead of local apps?

> I still believe you should be able to send files through email.

Refusing to listen to what people have been telling you since the inception of email does not make you right, though.

If it's too long to send in the body of the email, it should probably be in git.

Password protected zip. And/or wrap in another zip is usually enough to thwart Gmail

I think gmail does the same sometimes?

.txt is in that list you quoted... Edit: the dyslexia kicked in txt!= tex I'm the fool.

!= .tex, which is for LaTeX or similar, and isn't just a plaintext .txt file.

Except that it is just plaintext...

any file can be plain text if you want it to be ;)

and you can make plain text files that are executable in x86 land:

That was AWESOME. Thanks for sharing.

A PDF file is also mostly plaintext. At times.

It's interesting that it will target .tgz but not .tar.gz

i store all my images in .rgb format, i'm safe too :)
