Indeed that is the fun part!  Have also just noticed that the magic 
number block is also used in another Sub in that file - "sub 
WriteEntireMessage {", I should have spotted it sooner as it makes 
logical sense given the way MailScanner works, d'oh.

Not pretty, but would a config option for Exim version (> 4.96) cut it 
for now and a magic number 'switch' (19/26) in the code?
