However you may try compressing the files into other formats such as “.zip”, “.tar”, “.tgz”, “.taz”, “.z” or “.gz”. But Gmail is smart enough to know there is an executable inside that compress file.

Now the question is how to send executable files with your Gmail account if you really need to do so? Here’s how its done.

I’m assuming that many of Google Chat users don’t know that Google Talk features emoticons. Even if they know it supports most of the emoticons aren’t used or people don’t know about it. Thou not as flashy as Yahoo Messenger emoticons, Google chat emoticons are simple, yet cute and interesting. Monkeys, hearts, guy with the sunglasses and many more.
