That's a weird problem. I don't know whether it's related to the other thingie, but that might be possible. You're giving us awful little info though.

Temporary files like bat3xx7.tmp are created by TB when downloading mail or opening attachments. So the most likely thing is that one of your ISP's let something through, of course it is possible that your virus scanner is giving a false positive, but I consider that less likely. Anyway, your virus scanner is supposed to stop the downloading of viruses, but that means it's cutting access to TB's temporary file. As TB can't access the file anymore, it thinks that the download was faulty, so it doesn't delete the message on the server and tries again next message download. You could try to locate the problematic message on the server. For that TB has the message dispatcher Account -> Dispatch Mail On Server -> All messages This is on an account basis, so when you don't find anything suspect the first time, you should select your other account and try it again. When your ISP's provide webmail, you could use that too when that's easier for you.

That makes TB (and a couple of other mail clients) automatically skip that when quoting. It's one of the list rules that you got sent in your welcoming message.
