Unable to attach .zip files in Outlook 2002

Why, after a rebuild including Office 2002, is it no longer possible to attach .zip files to mail messages in Outlook 2002 SP-1?? .Zip is not a category one blocked attachment, same result occurs when sending as HTML or Rich Text Format. This is urgent as we have to transfer data to a customer immediately. Thanks!

Please elaborate on the problem you're having.  Are you receiving an error, the attachment simply not appearing, or what?

Thanks - just get an error message saying 'unable to attach file', and the attachment does not appear in the paperclip field of the new message

How big is the zip file?
Zip file size is 1.24 mb
I had the same problem in Outlook 2000, and used the renaming of the extension as described by SirBounty.

check to make sure that you have enough disk space also
