UNKNOWN CLAMD RETURN

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Please try the attached patch to SweepViruses.pm and let me know how you 
get on.

MailWatch may well not like it completely, as I changed "$part was" to 
"headers were" so it will fail to match if Steve looks for "was", but 
I'm sticking to English grammar, unless "the entire message was" works 
better.

Please try both and tell me if MailWatch is happy with "the entire 
message was" and I'll change my code.

Has someone actually got an entire message that triggers this code, so 
that we can test it on a real message?

Cheers,
Jules.
