    I was checking my email via OWA and opened a legitimate email that had a zip attachment. My firewall "blocks" zip attachments by replacing the extension with .zi_(not really secure as you can just save as and add the .zip extension). I digress. This time I accidently clicked the .zi_ attched file and the SP2 "Do you want to download this file" dialog box appears.
     
    Now the really bizarre part: the file name to download has the .zip extension intact. So in other words, SP2 has somehow determined that this is in fact a .zip file and basically ignoring my firewall rules.
     
    Thank you for your time.
