mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
Just rename the file, and include instruction to change it back.
I've just tested this again (in case something had changed), by renaming an exe to "txt", sending and receiving in Gmail accounts, and renaming it back.

It's just a security precaution, so that the receiver cannot unknowingly execute a received malicious file.
It's easy to get around if they know what they're getting.
