I think a number of email scanners object to the method Mandrake use to attach their message. You can see by the bottom of this that Anomy does so for me, so did did the windoze based scanner system at one of my employers. Must give some people a fright tho when they see a virus warning message for Mandrake emails. One day I will get fed up enuugh with it to write a script and remove it, or maybe Mandrake will see that its bad publicity to modify emails this way and attach their message as a signature or similar, because as it is (using evolution), I dont get to see the message, just a BIG warning about it!!! It also stuffs up email clients as EVERY Mandrake message shows as having an attachment, so I cant just scan the mailbox looking for attachments.
