Try this link:  http://www.podmailing.com/receiving_a_large_file_with_podmailing.html

.zed files seem to be 'podmail' files, which allow you to securely send a huge amount of data.

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
I've already got the file in my computer email inbox and the site doesn't explain how to open it from there, do you know?

Hi

You may need to download the software?

http://www.podmailing.com/download.html

That should then allow you to open the file.
