There is no problem. As far as I can tell, when such a bounce message
gets to an end-user, all they see is a raw text message - no attachments
- no virus. As such the fact that other AV systems say there is a virus
is debatable. I'd say as the user cannot possibly be infected without
good access to MIME internals and an editor, it isn't a virus!

agreed, but as an extention to "debatable" and to re-emphasize a point I posted earlier:
I may go so far as to say that certain AV systems may be making things -worse- for the end-user given the fact that some AV systems actually make the attachment/virus -accessible- (e.g. in quarantine in the case of Norton) when they otherwise would go un-seen and un-actionable in a plain-text email. Granted, little real danger there, but an interesting point to ponder nevertheless.
