Can virus report be in message body instead of in an attachment?

Bart,

I see your point.
First my question should have also included {blocked content?}. I would
also like that warning in the message body.
Second, I'm paranoid about a Macro infection dropping correspondence
silently. I have only received two requests for infected Word documents
in 3 years, and those files where scrambled in quarantine. Maybe I
should reconsider.
Third, I do believe there is some value in reminding the users that they
are protected. I get queried about once a month about benign
attachments that have been scanned. I believe the queries would rise
without a few notifications.
Finally, I do not change the silent delete settings in the default
configuration. Admittedly, I've not tested what does and does not
generate a warning so my second point maybe moot.
Hugo,
Thank you for curing the blind.
Thanks
Scott
