It is already there. Check the manual at www.declude.com/virus/manual.htm.
I'm either missing what you are referring to or it isn't there, or I am wrong on what the current order of execution is. Could you be more specific as to which option you are speaking of?

Absolutely Bad! 99.5% or better of virus infected messages have no legit
content. There is no reason to deliver them. They should only be
quarantined.
"Absolutely Bad" is kind of strong. Maybe I didn't explain my reasons. I would like to be in more control of the filtering just like we are with JunkMail. It's a big jump to just start deleting messages without allowing our users any control. If we had the options to filter/delete/notify/etc... just like in JunkMail then we would set up defaults for everybody and let them change those over time as needed. Most won't change the options we set but some might. Also, some e-mails might fail some of the "Outlook" vulnerabilities but not necessarily contain a virus, so how am I to know for sure if it really contains a virus? So, how do I know if it falls into the 99.5% category you mentioned if I don't know if it really contains a virus? Granted, most of those messages are probably spam but I don't know for sure. I guess you can say I'm on the paranoid side of not wanting any false positives.

Basically, I just like having the option of being more in control. If those options are in it doesn't take anything away from how you or others can use the product.
