I have added support for the specific things they claim to exploit in 2 of
the cases that weren't already handled.
The 3rd one relies on repeating the MIME boundary string, so all you can do
is match against the beginning of the boundary string that is actually
used. Adding support for that case would break compatibility with many
versions of Eudora as it uses the same boundary string throughout a
message, just tacking things on the end for when it does things like put in
HTML+text versions of the message body.

I obviously don't want to break Eudora compatibility just to pass a fairly
artificial test.

Please remember that testvirus.org is owned by Excedent Technologies who
sell email security products.

Don't for a minute think that testvirus.org is independent just because it
is a .org domain!
