Look at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.virus.mailscanner/23097
For the woes of releasing postfix queue files;).

As you mention that you use MailWatch, let me remind you that you
should _not_ be quarantining queue files, as per the MW install
instructions.
Both the quarantine relase and sa-learn features (and viewing of
"non-dangerous" quarantine entries) rely on them being "decoded"
to an rfc822 test format. Besides, the envelope info (in the
queue file) is already stored in the MW database, so... You
really don't need them as queue files...
Amend your MailScanner.conf file with
 Quarantine Whole Message = yes
 Quarantine Whole Message As Queue Files = no
