if they are trying to send you a self extracting exe file (which I have noticed is how this update is being sent) then Gmail will bounce that straight back to them, Gmail does not pass exe files at all
That's an excellent point! That would be why I never received the email either. Let's remember to always ask them to rename the file from .exe to .ex_ (or similar)
Sending it in a zip won't work either. (gmail looks inside those too)
just ask them to zip the files up in rar format (it's pretty much what everyone in China uses anyway), they probably think they're doing you a favor by making a self extractor and not knowing that in the western world most email programs will block these
