So the function that has a Fourier transform must be square summable,
which is a condition that exp[-t] (t from -\inf to \inf) does not satisfy.
By the way, what is mathematical interpretation of \sqrt(2 Pi)
DiracDelta[ I + \omega ], that is given by Mathematica 5.0 for
FourierTransform[Exp[-t], t, \omega] ?
