The latest leaked beta may have that feature added with no obvious way to turn it off, but I would have thought there'd be something hidden deep down that will turn it off.
Anyway, if someone really does want to send an executable, then they just ZIP it.
I don't want to zip a single exe file everytime I have to send a exe file to someone!.. That's crap!!!... I am a programmer and many of my contacts on msn help me out testing stuff on different systems, I don't want to zip the exe file each 5 minuttes i've done something new in the program to see if it works...
I don't want to Compile -> Zip -> send and then on the other side -> Extract -> Run... The zip and extract part is not needed... I fM$ doesn't change this or some patch pr whatever is able to change this, then I'm NOT gonna update!!!!... The idea of blocking files is ok, but then they at least needs a enable/disable, only block .xxx files, etc... If they don't do this!!! Then they can go f**k them selfs!...
And now people are going to say: "If you don't want to zip and extract, just rename the file to another filename and then send it, and the other person just renames it back to .exe..."... Yes of course this is correct!.. But I don't want that, it should all just be plain and simple, send, recieve, run... I don't need no stinky Blocker to control what I should send/recieve....
But ok, lets see where this is heading, hopefully m$ will of course make a config screen for this... 
... this is just a beta only avaible to a few people (officially! 
) so many things can still change...
Yep, I was also thinking the same when I read the news at mess.be.
TB, please, do your stuff
We count on you!
M$ should at least make an registry option to disale this...
I never got any virus via msn...
