Now that I look, just got one a few minutes ago. I don't see that this 
created any problems for MS, but it delivered with a score of 0.0 which 
may indicate that it didn't scan it, don't know (it's not spam). It should 
sure hand over the first 200.000 bytes (in my case) to SA and not just 
skip it. Jules?
