I didn't mean I cleaned them, only that those were the only ones that could
have a case made for them.

There was one point (BL - Before Loveletter), where most infected messages
fell into this category, and it may have made some sort of twisted since to
clean them routinely(I never did).

Now 99+% of infected traffic is worm generated and it makes absolutely no
since to clean.

I do quarantine the messages "just in case".  There have only been a couple of
times I've been asked to get them out (and always to hand-hold a CEO-type).
