My understanding is that the initial test was performed by
using the scanner sofwtare to scan a directory. If this can
be used to do individual files, well then sure - it would
definately simplify things, but I do think there will
sharring issues; James gfoes to process a mail but it's
being scanned .... 

unless you want to turen this into a synchronous process...


However, there are still the issue of communications between
the Mailet and the scanning software; you need to be able to
track and process scan results and as said before, this
might involve another spool of a sorts...
