Julian,

One of my howling users has her Wall Street Journal email subscriptions
mangled, so (behold) I will use the Power of MailScanner (TM) to snag
a message via a ruleset:

Non Spam Actions = %localrules-dir%/nonspam.rules

where the rules are:

From: access at interactive.wsj.com and To: user at colby.edu deliver store forward jaearick at colby.edu
FromOrTo:       default  deliver

This should leave me the raw qf/df files in quarantine that I can then
send along.  This might take a day or so, depending on WSJ mailings and
settings that I have to tweak.  When I can figure out how to use rulesets, 
it is the coolest thing about MailScanner.
