Email attachment security policy

Let me begin by saying I did a bit of research on this and only came up with one irrelevant hit. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6737

I am curious if there is some sort of security policy that regulates what kind of attachments you can download. I emailed a few themes to my gmail account. When I tried to download the attachments, outlook (or whatever the client is) told me that the file was dangerous and it would not download it. I couldn't find any settings in the program that would allow me to change this. Is anyone aware of anything registry or otherwise that could help me?

BUMP

Any way that I can download any attachments, regardless of extension, other than using that email service's web interface?

I was able to get it this way but it would just be nice to be able to get something I've already downloaded.

Steps: Yes, I click download and it gives me the dialog then tells me that it will not allow me to download files of this type.
