When you think about it though - does it really matter if you don't stop a
virus in an encrypted archive file?  Unless the recipient knows the password
there is very little risk of damage. Not a very successful way of getting a
virus to propagate is it?  Unless the body of the message includes the
password and the recipients does open the file.  IMHO they deserve to be
infected then :)
