I'll take a look, but no guarantees as it's not just a tag replacement.

Current planned improvements are:
1) etrust-autoupdate needs fixing to use the correct autoupdater in the 
latest version, while not breaking backwards compatibility with any 
previous versions.
2) Produce a customised report on receipt of password-protected 
archives, back to sender.
3) Comment out scripts in HTML emails, and some other HTML email.

I'll try to get this out for 1st Jan, it will give me something to do 
over Christmas. If anyone wants to send me some very nice brandy for 
Christmas, they are most welcome... :-)

Happy Christmas!

Jules
