This would actually make life harder if you had a fairly complex 
multilingual setup that used rulesets to derive the filenames of the 
reports, as the "Reports Location" would have to change as well as the 
"Stored Virus Message Report" filename. But then again, that won't hit most 
people, so I might do it anyway :-)

You'll discover in the production release if I actually got around to doing 
it...
