Odds are it's a text attachment that's an embedded mail message, typical of mail
clients configured to "Forward as attachment". The embedded mail message
probably has a .exe file attached to it, which your mail client would
understand, and MailScanner detected.

Take a look at the text file in your quarantine and see what it is.
