Thanks.  But I do want to do more processing. That's just the point.  
Its like I want to say at each point 'if the mail is from <here> then 
jump over the virus scanning bit" and likewise avoid the mimetype bit 
and so on. I don't want to stop the processing, I want to be selective 
about it.

It is sounding like I need to significantly adjust the supplied filter 
script and incorporate many conditions.  I was hoping there was a 
simpler way.
