I've asked Cathy to email the zip to my work email address since she has asked for an alternative email address, so when it arrives I can try emailing this back to my gmail account to test the zip file.

Geeze apparently Jobs was correct, people do not read anymore? All I wrote was that it was a potentially reasonable reason not that is HAD to be that reason.
I use Gmail for all my personal email everything else comes and goes via my own company's email servers and never have problems with either. Still Gmail does do some strange things now and then.
I tested sending zips and other files idea w/o issue. Only if you get the corrupted zip file will such a "test" be of any help. Of course you could just create a zip file of your own, edit it by deleting a portion of say the header and email the corrupted zip file. Eventually, there does come a point where it is the responsibility of Fremantle to solve this issue on their own. That is why they make the money. I would imagine that someone has contacted Gmail or Google to find out what is happening.
I did a quick check to see if Fremantle's email server was blacklisted on a number of SPAM tracking services and found only a single entry on a minor service which should not be the issue. And I also imagine Gmail uses an internal blacklist which is not to be viewed by the public. Plus if the Fremantle mail server was on a blacklist they could not send anything to Gmail addresses. So that was a dead end from the start.
Interesting to see what your results are. Sure is a strange one that is for sure.
