problem having using french support

[Rick Chadderdon]

It looks as if the file command is picking up something in that message
that matches the magic for one of the many types of executable files. 
Run file against the quarantined text file and see what it comes up
with.  You will occasionally get this kind of false positive with the
content of certain messages.  It should be fairly rare, and shouldn't
need you to do anything to compensate other than explain to your user
what the problem was.  It this is unacceptable, you might want to edit
your magic file to make it less picky about certain kinds of files.
