We're some blind and visually impaired working here and one thing which
might be very nice is if we could convert Word attachments into text ones
during mail delivery. We have all the software we need and I just thought
if local_scan() could be used to launch the conversion process after virus
checking, of course ;)

I think local_scan() is a great thing and I'll set up a test mail server
to try it out.

Do you think there could be a vlue to return to Exim telling it to rescan
the message and then deliver it after local_scan() has done it's
modifications?
