If you are using yahoo mail service, you can not send any executable file as attachment. You need to make archive file of exe file. If you are using windows operating system, Just right click on that file and go to sent to option, there will be compressed ZIP and click on it. Then you can find that the new file named file.zip. You need to rename the file name file.zip to file.myfile and upload on yahoo mail.

If you have WINRAR software then just pack the exe file to winrar. After that it will convert to RAR archive file that is on compressed format. Just try to rename .rar file to .myfile and upload the file as attachments to your yahoo mail.
I already tried this method and got success to send executable file.

There is also one option to send exe file as attachments without any software. You just need to rename your file.exe to file.myfile and upload to the yahoo mail. But aware the recipent to download and rename the filename '.myfile.'to '.exe'. This is good trick to send executable file.

You can also use third party online service and share the file download link via e mail. There are many free online service like Mega Upload and Media fire website. You need to just upload the exe file on that . But it is not secure way because anybody download the file if they search file name on website.
