Have the send rename the file extension to something like .txt and once you get it you can rename to .reg

so there is no other way . we dont have FTP server
see the link below to modify a registry key to stop outlook from blocking attachments

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/829982/outlook-blocked-access-to-the-following-potentially-unsafe-attachments
Send the file with WeTransfer
https://wetransfer.com
Just have sender send you content in the Txt file, and rename it once you have it to .reg, that would be the easiest way, no need to whitelist the attachment type or need of any file share.

That will not work because it is even blocked in OWA
