Thanks. I have, and the part I missed is 'does not affect dispisition of 
the message'. So once I do a quarantine_entire_message I should then do 
a discard() to get rid of the virus. But how would I send the intended 
recipient a message that there's something in the quarantine in case 
he/she is interested?
In earlier versions of mimedefang you would only have to quarantine the 
infected 'part' and it was easy to replace it with a warning note. But 
quarantine_entire_message() works quite differently from quarantine() I 
have just learned, and I can't seem to find any function to turn the 
infected email into a warning for the recipients.
I would really appreciate another hint...
