"Not easily" is one answer:-)
If you had MailWatch and used the "old-style" method of delivering the
released mail as an attachment, you wouldn't have this problem
(M-Sexchange does pretty much the same thing as Cyrus... You might
find advice about it in the list archives...)... This implies having
the Quarantine As Queue Files setting at "no", and working with the
RFC822 message text file... You kind of need MailWatch, to keep track
of the _envelope_ sender/recipient with that set to "no"...
