Ah, information!
You might try zipping the files and storing them on your Web server,
then include the URL to the file(s) in the e-mail. When (and if) your
recipient clicks on the (presumably clickable, linked) URL, their e-mail
client might ask them what to do with the file (save or open). You can
tell them in the e-mail to save it (on their desktop, you say), and
maybe they will, and maybe it'll work when they try it.
