encrypted zip files are blocked with f-prot

Hi,

has anyone else seen this problem:

An encrypted zip file is scanned by f-prot with the following output:

F-PROT ANTIVIRUS
Program version: 4.4.2
Engine version: 3.14.11

[..]

Search: .
Action: Report only
Files: "Dumb" scan of all files
Switches: -ARCHIVE -PACKED -SERVER

/xxx/test.zip->test2.exe could be a security risk

And after that the mail is quarantined. Is there a way I can send
encrypted mails while scanning with f-prot (f-prot normally displays
"Not scanned (encrypted)", but not for this file.)

Regards,

Sebastian
