At the moment, the only variables it appears you can use are these:
  $filename = join(', ', keys %infected);
  $id = $this->{id};
  $from = $this->{from};
  $subject = $this->{subject};

I can add more if several people need them. If your Perl is up to it, 
you want to add code to sub ReadVirusWarning in Message.pm. Otherwise 
you'll have to bribe me to add them for you :-)
