zip is not included.  Check out the settings at admin->settings->upload.  This is configurable on a per role basis.

Subject: [support] Attachments problem

Hi,
    I'm having problems with attachments/uploads to the site.  It seems that the uploads that aren't being accepted are zip files.  I went into admin/settings/upload
and added zip as an attachment that was accepted.  I also increased the size of allowable file sizes for uploads.  So, the general limit is set to 0 for unlimited file size and then the other max file sizes are 100M.  Thus it makes no sense that a 4.6M file in zip format cannot be uploaded to the site.
     Allowing uploads like this allows customers to send various content for a site in a compressed collection of files.  So, is the problem the size limit that can be uploaded to the site?  or is it something else that I must set?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
