Great.

Expect 4a10 some time soon. 2 new things:
1) Just discovered I forgot to add the call to the html->text conversion,
so it wouldn't actually do anything if you switched it on.
2) Have added a separate subject line tag for messages that *only*
triggered a filename trap, but were otherwise not infected. The default
value for it will be "{VIRUS?}" so that your users don't notice any change
unless you want to use the feature.

Yes, I need to get this case issue sorted, or else it's going to bite me
sooner or later.
