That's the message source you're looking at. I'm saying that TB!
doesn't search the message source (I gave the likely reason why), it
searches the headers and the message body.

Take my eicar test message:

The content header says:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------D3A45B2109AEC0"

No reference to the virus name there.

Now, on examination of the source, if I look *after* the message body
where TB! doesn't search, I see:
,-----[ begin ]----->>
|
| ------------D3A45B2109AEC0
| Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="<virus name>"
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
| Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<virus name>"
|
|
'-----[  end  ]-----||

and this is followed by the attachment. TB!'s filtering doesn't search
these parts of the source.

I had to remove the virus name since the listserver returned my
message thinking it was infected. ;-)
