Quarantined messages

More like rfc822.

I use MailWatch (http://mailwatch.sf.net) which needs the message in
that
format. Incidentally, all (or at least most) envelope info is stored in
the MailWatch database, so there's really no need to save the queue
files
when using that. A very useful complement to MS, and what sold my PHB on
the solution... Perhaps worth a look;).
