Take a look through the options containing the word "Quarantine" and you 
will hopefully find what you need. If you just "Quarantine Infections = 
yes" and "Quarantine Whole Message = no" then you will get just the 
attachments as normal files. If you want to store them as raw queue 
files so that you can just drop them in the outgoing queue, then 
"Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes".

Hopefully that helps a bit.
