I have just released Beta 4.48.1. This fixes the Subject: decoding bug 
found by Steve Freegard. It enables blocking of messages containing web 
bugs, and fixes 3 other bugs as well.

Download as usual from
       www.mailscanner.info

The full Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- - Upgraded ClamAV to 0.87.1.
- - Improved Sophos wrapper script to allow for EM library installations.
  No support for Sophos V5.0 yet.
- - Enabled blocking of messages containing web bugs. Note this may have some
  false alarms, as a web bug is any image of 2x2 or smaller.
- - Changed ClamAV parser to not generate warning output when it sees lines it
  wasn't expected, as there are so many false positives that no-one ever
  looks at them anyway.
- - Added HTML::Parser to the list of Perl modules installed by my ClamAV+SA
  package so it can be used separately from MailScanner, without needing
  MailScanner to be installed first.

* Fixes *
- - Added "report-type" MIME attribute to spam notification multipart/report
  messages as the RFC says it should be there, and this lacking caused a
  problem in a few email apps. Thanks for Georg at hackt.net for this.
- - Added missing ", 0777" from mkdir call in internal TNEF code.
- - Fixed startup problems reading rulesets from LDAP on first message batch.
- - Subject lines are all MIME-decoded properly now.
