Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no
Buggar! It doesnt seem like it - they are in the format of "message"
'attachmentname'

Maybe i forget the emails, and search the quaratnien directories and
send all the virus and zip attachments ? I could do that with the below
command type?

Also found this script, but its all getting a bit complicated i think.
