Google blocking 7zip

[Gmail]

Well, there is another option and that is that something in your 7z archives is tripping
the scanning... Google may have turned on some of the VirusTotal scanning. Have you tried
dropping a smaller 7z archive into https://www.virustotal.com/ and seeing if it flags anything?

Yes, I kind of assumed the same (that .7z had been added to the list, but  
the webpage hasn't been updated to reflect).  

However, *all* .7z (encrypted) archives are blocked, whether they contain  
"dangerous" attachments or not.  

I'm hoping that Google have made a mistake here which they will recognise  
and fix real soon.
