I have ask Trend Micro to put an option regarding InterScan VirusWall
decoding errors:

it could be:

in case of decoding error:

- bypass scanning (default)
or
- move document in some place and let administrator decide what to do
with it.


There were an option "Block messages when scan engine encounters
decoding error" at 3.02 level, but default was to move document.
I imagine that ISP felt constrained by default behaviour. From that,
this option disappears.
I have ask for it to come back in vain since May 2000.
paja@integralis.cz post proves this option is realy missing.
