Look at the file again. It is NOT an 800k mail. It is over 200 emails embedded
within each other. By definition the largest message is about 800K and the 
smallest
is about 1K give or take, giving an average of 400K (don't worry if the maths 
isn't
too accurate). So thats about 200x400K = c.80Mb.

0.80 didn't scan it properly and would have let a virus through, 0.83 fixes 
that bug.

Try comparing like with like next time.
