I am using reformime with qmail and my own qmail-queue replacement

I'm using amavis-perl with inoculate for linux (inocucmd). Possible change to
inoculate or take it as additional scanner in amavis.
Recently I had a virus come through. A close look revealed that
the header of the message was faulty, it looked like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="bound"
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.
Don't use Outlook especially OE. OE is like a magnet for viruses and in
Outlook it is not easy to
disable the sending of html-mails completely.
Our customers Outlook managed to decode the message though. Luckily
they also have a local virus scanner running so no harm was done.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
I don't know of a fix or patch. Possible you should start a
translaterprogramm to
search for html within a mail and translate it to plaintext. Inform your
customers of
the Virusproblem of Outlook and offer him other muas like Eudora, Pegasus
Mail, kmail (Linux).
