Another noob question - Dangerous Content and Virus subject meaning and scope

Setting "Dangerous Content Scanning = yes" disables all the content-based
checks except Virus scanning, Allow Partial Messages and Allow External
Message Bodies. 

But which are all the content-based checks? Does this apply to attachments?
To iFrame/Form Tags/Script Tags/webbug etc? Dangerous HTML?  Does it
affect/override MCP?



I'm being asked what we should tell the users about a message which arrives
with the Content Subject Text in the header, and I'm realizing I'm not sure
of the scope.

 

Similarly, if I have clamav enabled and 

Deliver Disinfected Files = no

Will we ever see an occurrence of the {Virus?} subject?

 

(I realize we'll learn some of this during the beta, but the helpdesk team
wants to get docs written ahead of the beta)
