Any MUA that interprets that as an .exe attachment is broken; see the
MIME RFC.  I've written a few times before that while I will try my
best to make sense of broken MIME, there are limits.  It's up to you
to ensure your MUA's are at least semi-sensible.

(Didn't the file-content "MZ" trick work for you?)
