This comes up every month :-)

The archive/quarantines are completely untouched messages, they are in
their original form. I intend to keep it that way, because if something
happened to that MailScanner started screwing up messages that it had
archived/quarantined and delivered, you wouldn't lose the originals. I work
on the paranoid basis that MailScanner may screw your entire email system,
and I want to keep away from anything that does any harm.

It's the same reason you folks don't get access to the CVS tree.
I don't want to be responsible for a company going under because it loses
all its mail, and it's my fault. Email is important and transient. Unless
you archive every message, there is no way of restoring a part of a
conversation from backups.
