[pmmail-list] PMMail/2 and Norman Virus Control

[Carl Gehr]

Thanks, Koen, for the suggestion and the 'borrowed' script.  And,
thanks to John for the script!

I will have to put this on the [near] top of the To-Do list.

I assume that the filter is triggered by finding 'anything' in the
input message so it will look at everything.

Thanks, again.
Carl
