Releasing messages from Quarantine

[Andy Norris]

Thanks very much, Steve.

We are certainly interested in doing a similar thing to what you have here
in the near (practical) future.

I know I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but am trying to do something
from square one...

The email is in the directory
/home/virtual/site35/fst/var/spool/mail.quarantine/20041122/iAM6A4X5001012

There are three files. Is there not a way that I can -- from the command
line, or otherwise -- just pass this email in its entirety to its intended
recipient without changing the headers?

And, if there's not, perhaps that's a future enhancment? Just a
FreeQuarantined( path) function? That would be pretty cool.

Thanks again!

Andy Norris
