Whenever i send a .apk file via email as an attachment and then open the .apk-file in my phone from my email-account, i get a parsing error.
However if i put the .apk on my website and provide a URL to it, it works like a charm.
A bug? Just me? Am i doing it wrong?
Thanks

apk) if the gmail account is configured in the device. Instead, Open your gmail account in the browser,open the email and now try to download the attachment. It worked for me :) Hope it helps.
Just open your browser, find the APK file you want to download, and tap it – you should then be able to see it downloading on the top bar of your device. Once it's downloaded, open Downloads, tap on the APK file and tap Yes when prompted. The app will begin installing on your device.
Another common reason for the App not installed error could be that there is not enough free memory on your device's internal storage. Most users think that the size of the apk file is the actual size of the app. But this is not the case. Actually the apk file is a packaged version of the application itself.
The simple answer is it is very simple, Droid devices understand what an APK is. So, tell your friend to Check "Enable Unknown Sources" currently in Settings->Security (not Settings-> Applications as of now.) Then email them the APK.
That on new Android versions works very well, because, if the attachment is and apk then appear an install button. (on GMail native app)
But for older Android versions you will need and app like Email install this one : http://www.appbrain.com/app/email-installer/com.best.app.attachment
