-Please don't mail us executables, at all. For security reasons, it

-unknown people by e-mail, so there's no point sending them to us. At
-some point, indeed, we hope to block all incoming e-mail containing
-executables, as a defence against the vast numbers of e-mail viruses
-we receive every day.

If you have made a tiny modification to the PuTTY code, please send
us a \e{patch} to the source code if possible, rather than sending
