My pleasure.
Note that the same procedure on the Mail-ClamAV-0.20.tar.gz file will 
install the patched Mail::ClamAV so that you can continue to use the 
"clamavmodule" if you so choose.

And a quick note of thanks is due to all the regulars here, without whom 
I would have a much bigger job of supporting MailScanner and keeping 
everyone on the straight and narrow! All your hard work is much 
appreciated by me, and also hopefully by the "transient members" who 
only pop into existence when they have a problem that needs solving, 
which you all handle very swiftly, politely, accurately and succinctly too!

So Cheers to all, and I hope you all have a great Christmas and a very 
merry New Year, and I wish you all have silent pagers and mobiles for 
the next week or so.

Jules
