No virus found - good

I have also attached raw email data.

I compiled a debug version of reformime and steped
through it. The problem arises from declaration of the
boundary in the header. reformime defines the boundary
as been "bound"X-Priority: 3X-MSMail... until it
reaches a new line. In the message part it is "--
bound" thus is unable to extract parts. When boundary
header definition is placed on a line of its own and
passed through it works.

The amavis scanner is in production mode for the last
18 months, and this is the first incursion.

Can some check if this e-mail would pass through the
perl version ??

One of the devlepors here is going to try and
disassembly the exe file to see if the header is been
delibertely malformed by the exe.
