Hello

We have a customer that is attempting to send a tif file that is a little
over 3.5 mb, when trying to send he receives the following error:

The following e-mails were found to have: Virus Detected

    Sender: xxxxxx at pris.bc.ca

   Subject: '...are' sticker
 MessageID: i94Kea0D007039
    Report: Denial of Service attack in message!
            Denial of Service attack in message!


The interesting part of the df file is:

--============_-1115191450==_============
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

hello doris & frances,

I have looked as best I can but cannot find a reason for this, we are
running MS-4.33.3 with ClamAV-0.80rc2

any pointers would be appreciated.
