I'll see if I can get one and do that. Since MS is not blocking them, I don't
have the full messages on the server to pull -  only the headers (using
MailWatch).

But, while other viruses are being properly blocked by MS, it's only these
Worm.Sober.P viruses that ClamAV is detecting, MS is seeing that, but stating
it's disinfected and queuing it up for delivery.
