To be sure I wasn't total confused (which I'm still am but a little less 
so) I turned back on clean up quarantine. With this set I can't use 
MailWatch to view or release any message. No matter if its marked clean, 
spam, high spam (which I never should as its deleted), or marked as Bad 
Content/Infected. When I changed it back to no clean up quarantine I was 
able to view messages and release them from quarantine.

I'm using MS 4.45.4 and postfix. My quarantine options are:

Quarantine Infections = yes
Quarantine Silent Viruses = yes
Quarantine Modified Body = no
Quarantine Whole Message = yes
Quarantine Whole Message As Queue Files = no (yes =  lost all 
view/release functionality of MW)
Keep Spam And MCP Archive Clean = no (yes = lost all view/release 
functionality of MW)
