Wouldn't it make most sense to put them in a "crashmails" folder what ever
it would be named the same as spam and nonspam?

Not important I guess, would just make it more mmm coherent is the word i
think.

Hmm i guess that implies that the name of the actual virus is put in the
headers, I've never managed to actually see a header since its always
blocked and quarantined, and the quarantine mails don’t have the MS headers.
But I will look into that.

Was the last part I was missing.

I did read it, I guess it wasn't clear enough for me to grasp at first try.
