Reprocessing quarantined messages

Hello Richard,

Since the quarantine in question contain "message" files, one can surmise
that the quarantine doesn't contain the queue files... Rather it is the
complete message coded as an RFC822 text file (likely a MailWatch setup, or
similar). Hence one need resubmit them rather than just copy a few queue
files;-)

Cheers!
