Not only does it take a considerable time, especially if the connection to the Internet is a slow-speed one, but a lot of companies and organisations prohibit the receiving of files with extensions such as .exe, .jpg or .gif.

For these and other reasons, it is recommended that all files sent as attachments to E-Mails are compressed and sent as industry-standard .zip files.

The Zip Mailer has been developed to make this process as simple as possible.

Just select the file to be sent, add an E-Mail address and a message and then click Send.

A related program, VB Mailer can be used to send complete Visual Basic projects as a single .zip file.
