Default PBEM - 3 files?

To play a PBEM game, I can't imagine that MM would make you send more than 1 file, but it really seems that way...

Has anyone heard of a 3rd party utility to make this easier or if it is going to be addressed in a patch? Sending several files is downright silly.

While I havent played PBEM yet so I'm not sure on the specifics, but....

Winzip?

Is there something in the PBEM format that prevents .zips?

There are more file in the PBEM folder but you can just put them all in one *.zip and post them to everyone. There is a pssword so no player can player for another. All *.plr turn files are deleted after use by the programm and saved in a backup folder.
