invalid extension TXT
I tried to upload an ANSI TXT file named "unfixable.txt" and got the error message

Yes, I know that I can put a file with ANY extension into a ZIP or 7z or whatever archive.
In this case ZIP would have been bigger than that small TXT file...
Also I wanted the recipients to see the file name (and possibly the content) without unpacking an archive.

Re: invalid extension TXT
What did you try and open it with?
I usually use Notepad for .txt files.

It's not that it can't be opened but that it can't be uploaded here with that extension.
