    It will “work” in the sense that if the user will really really want to see it, they might waste lots of time learning there’s actually nothing.

      They’ll waste like 5 seconds scanning it and seeing it’s a malicious zip file. if they have a halfway competent it dept it’ll be scanned, flagged, and quarantined before they even have a chance to open it

            And stuff like this isn’t tough to handle. Any halfway competent email security toolset is going to be examining the contents of incoming compressed files. If extracting the zip file takes longer than x, toss it. If extracting reaches a size over y, toss it.
