I just added below the $SuspiciousCharsInHeaders in filter_begin, for the
quick an dirty:

	if ($SuspiciousCharsInBody) {
	  md_graphdefang_log('suspicious_chars_body');
        action_quarantine_entire_message("Message Quarantined because of
suspicious characters in body");
        return action_discard();
      }

This should do the trick.

Hopefully most mail programs out there are sane and do not trigger these, but
at least u can unquarantine.
