block F-Secure "Internal error: Bad file"-files

[Julian Field]

I suggest you forward this to F-Secure tech support. They are about to
release a new version and you may find it is fixed in there.

If you put one of the troublesome files on a website somewhere I can get it
from, I will test it out for you and let you know what happens. I will then
add functionality to MailScanner to support this if it still happens with
the new version and is a common problem.
