[Q] Opeing Zip files in email

---

Guys,

Only got my Nexus yesterday and I am already loving to tweaks ontop of gingerbread. There are however a couple of areas which I am worse off in.

Mainly, I deal with a lot of zip files and never had a problem on my Desire HD but my Galaxy Nexus says

'You can't save or open this file because this type of attachment might contain malicious software'

Is there any deep security settings to get around this?

Any help much appreciated.

very strange. on my nexus one it let me download zip files, and then i used astro or total commander to extract them.

Are you downloading them from email? Ive just tried actually downloading a zip file and it opened ok , its just when one is attached to an email I have recieved...

Bump, this wouldnt be a prob for some dev to get it into a ROM would it?

Same problem here! This really sucks....every attachment can be malicious....i searched the settings for my virus scanner and my .zip program. There was nothing....

Did you have any luck changing this setting? This is really annoying and I have not yet seen any other posts beside this one.

OMG THIS IS ANNOYING! I have a Galaxy S with CM9, doesn't work either

Should be able to download them zipped then open them with a root file explorer right?

No, The Gmail app and the Email app literally do not let you download the file at all...
