Someone else mentioned that, and I've made the changes for the next
beta.

In reality, I don't think it will make much difference.  Most e-mail
messages are not viruses (at least, on my server!), and so most of the
time, all the scanners will end up running anyway.  But as you say,
it's an easy tweak so any improvement is worth it.
