A fairly universal- albeit quiite old- approach is to use uuencode
(and uudecode). That way the content is stored as plain text within your
email message. Slightly more effort to extract but should go through
most any mail filtering.

Subject: [vrf] VB Scripts

Lately a few [vrf] posts have been quarantined by our company mail server -
apparently due to them containing VB Scripts. When posting VB Scripts is it
possible to attach them as zip files so we can read the posts without the
chance of the scripts being executed?

I would think that we are not the only company to block emails with VB
scripts as a security measure, so maybe others are missing some of the
posts.

Dave,

OK, I remember seeing those go through. You know, most virus scanners
will tunnel into ZIP files and scan the files inside, so I don't think
zipping them will help much. I think this subject got tossed around a
couple of months ago, but I don't remember any hard and fast solution.

Anyone else?

I don't have the blocked files only the quarantine notifications which
unfortunately do not give that much information. Its not really a problem
for me - I just don't get to read those messages, I thought it was worth
mentioning as I doubt Zetex is the only company which blocks emails with VB
scripts.

Here are the last two notifications

If you're going to deal with ActiveX controls, you're going to deal with
VBScript, JScript, and several other script languages besides. If you're
going to deal with extending VEE in any way at all, you're going to deal
with some kind of different programming environment. That's just the way it
is. It's no good blaming Microsfot, you might as well blame Agilent for
allowing VEE to be extended.

Our company (Siemens) filters out executables and the like, but leaves .zip
files alone; it is the preferred way of transferring executable code. Don't
know how everybody else works, tho...

Mike,

I don't have the blocked files only the quarantine notifications which
unfortunately do not give that much information. Its not really a problem
for me - I just don't get to read those messages, I thought it was worth
mentioning as I doubt Zetex is the only company which blocks emails with VB
scripts.

Here are the last two notifications

          Subject: [vrf] VB Scripts

          Lately a few [vrf] posts have been quarantined by our
company mail server -
          apparently due to them containing VB Scripts. When posting
VB Scripts is it
          possible to attach them as zip files so we can read the
posts without the
          chance of the scripts being executed?

          I would think that we are not the only company to block
emails with VB
          scripts as a security measure, so maybe others are missing
some of the
          posts.

Ask your IT guys to allow through any email with [vrf] in the subject. Most mail scanning software has this kind of override option.

Dave,

OK, I remember seeing those go through. You know, most virus scanners
will tunnel into ZIP files and scan the files inside, so I don't think
zipping them will help much. I think this subject got tossed around a
couple of months ago, but I don't remember any hard and fast solution.

Anyone else?

Mike,

I don't have the blocked files only the quarantine notifications which
unfortunately do not give that much information. Its not really a problem
for me - I just don't get to read those messages, I thought it was worth
mentioning as I doubt Zetex is the only company which blocks emails with VB
scripts.

Here are the last two notifications

          Do you have any specific examples of blocked files? Any

I doubt they would be too happy about that. As I am not convinced of the
need to post VB scripts to the list, with all its security implications
(thanks Microsoft!) I will leave things as they are for now.

It would appear that Agilent don't stop the VBScripts from being reflected, but they do stop them getting to Agilent email users! I haven't seen any posts with VBS in them.
