I thought that was COM related but I have not looked into COM in years..

Company policy but I do not usually use the company email system for
even work related matters. I do not check outlook often that is why I
did not notice.. One reason is they automatically throw away most
attachments with no way to get them back and without notifying the
sender. That has burned me more than once with companies sending me
SDKs in zip files.
