retrieving a quarantined file

[josh]

Is there an easier way to do this, I dont run cgp but also find it
inconvenient to retrive quarantined items. Isnt there a quick way to just
process a quarantined item for a user, at the moment i am copying the
attachment out manually and forwarding it on , i have searched the docs on
the mailscanner site to no avail...is there a quicker easier way to do it.

thanks in advance,
