I noticed this behavior starting with the 4.23-11.  (I have not yet
upgraded past that.)  There should be something on the list archives
about that from near the release date of 4.23-11.  At the time, some
other people had noticed this as well, but others couldn't reproduce
it.  I had posted relevant portions of my configuration files but
never heard anything after that.  (I subscribe to the digest, so I
could easily have missed a followup -- no accusations intended.)

In any case, my workaround is to set "Quarantine Whole Message = yes"
in MailScanner.conf since that functionality still appears to be
working correctly.
