Foregive me to jump in here, but I am quite new to MailScanner and
interrested how this could happen.

In the doks it is stated:

"To minimise any chance of message corruption, any messages that are found to be entirely
clean and uninfected are moved directly between the two queues; no attempt is made to
rebuild them from their constituent MIME entities. A message is only rebuilt from its MIME
entities if an infection or dangerous filename was found, causing the replacement of the
attachment with a text message. "

So how could this happen ?
If I read this correct the whole message should have been passed to the output queue
untouched ?

Sorry if I missed anything obious here.
