This (and the similar decision by the ClamAV people to
start including phishing mail that is *sent by* viruses,
as well as the viruses themselves, in their database) of
course risks the irritating side-effect that users then
can't report these mails to the responsible authorities
without jumping through idiotic hoops. Probably best to
make sure your configuration doesn't do that :-)
