I recently tried to email someone a .tar.gz of some .py files, and their academic email (large US university, hosted gmail) refused to let it pass. I was left to wonder what kind of research they do there.


Research with modern tooling like git?


I still believe you should be able to send files through email. Why should I setup a git server( static ip + domain name) to share a piece of code? What's next? "Modern tooling" like Google Docs instead of local apps?

Refusing to listen to what people have been telling you since the inception of email does not make you right, though.


If it's too long to send in the body of the email, it should probably be in git.


Password protected zip. And/or wrap in another zip is usually enough to thwart Gmail


I think gmail does the same sometimes?
