GFI E-mail Test with F-prot

If you send just the ax.html file then the antivirus stuff get it's.  So
the problem is only when linking to an outside source instead of
embedding it.  Does anyone know if <iframe> or any <frame> marker would
be legit in an email message.  I would only think they would show up if
some was forwarding an html web page and not a email composed in html.

Any ideas about this activex bugger?
In the message they have an IFRAME marker that sources
http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/ax.htm 
That page contains the code.

I'm trying to figure out how their content scanning would determine if
the message had executable code.  Wouldn't it have to follow the links
embedded in every message or are they just removing any code that
sources an external source?  If that's the case, what if it's a legit
sourcing?
