quarantined HAM in queue files

[Bart van den Heuvel]

OK, so i can leave the extention out when i copy the queue file.

The main problem is that if i requeue the file in the respective queue the
message stands there until i do a (in webmin it is also not mentioned as a
queued message):

postfix check

then the file disapeares into nothingness, it is never mentioned in any
log (/var/log/mail.log) even postfix -vv check never mentionds the queue
file operation.

Thanks for your input
