If it isn't infected, you can zip it, uuencode it and send it back
through MailScanner.  Then all the recipient should need to do is unzip
it:

$ cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/[DATE]/[MSG ID]
$ zip [MSG ID].zip *[MSG ID]
$ uuencode [MSG ID].zip [MSG ID.zip | mailx -s "Requested zipped up
version of [MSG ID]" [EMAIL ADDRESS]

Example (probably need to do this as root):

# cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20030624/h5ODdpEY002821
# zip h5ODdpEY002821.zip *h5ODdpEY002821
# uuencode h5ODdpEY002821.zip h5ODdpEY002821.zip | mailx -s "Requested
zipped version of h5ODdpEY002821" blah at blah.com
