     That is a good point. Usually, I try to use a filename like narfSHK.bin
for an .shk file and say something like "this is an .shk file" in the email.

     If you know the recipient can handle .zip files with no problem, using
WinZIP to put the .shk file (or .sdk file, for whole-disk ShrinkIt archives)
in .zip form may be better.
