Please inform the administrator or moderators of your FUDforum to fix
their forum-to-Usenet gateway. Their forum posts are 1 physical line
per paragraph and assume the reader application will perform automatic
logical line wrapping. The result is their posts consist of single very
long lines that are hundreds of characters long. Newsgroups posts
should physically line-wrap at 76 characters, or less. They must also
be under 998 characters in maximum length to be RFC compliant. Ask your
FUDforum admin or moderator to be polite when gatewaying their posts to
Usenet by reformatting their posts before dumping them in newsgroups.

Ah, a music file. If it had the extension for a music file, it wouldn't
have been blocked. Instead the sender stuck it in an executable
filetype and why it got blocked. Tell the sender to use the correct
extension for the music file, like .avi, .wmv, .mp3, or whatever and
stop using executable file extensions.
Yes, you could modify the registry to stop blocking that particular
extension (by adding it to the exclusion list). Yes, you could
reconfigure Outlook to not block dangerous filetypes in e-mails.
However, once blocked, you won't get access to that attachment
thereafter. Changing the exclusion list or reconfiguring Outlook will
not alter the block status of the attachment in a previously received
e-mail. You need to have the sender resend their e-mail and that time
use a non-executable extension for the non-executable file getting
attached.
