Haven't seen any further comments on this. Have I missed it on the list?

So I'm all pumped about trying this, and I realize I have no idea what
to do. How does one run from source?  Which file do I change? What
exactly do I change the line to?

I'm not scared about doing this, but need a bit of a step through
though. 

Also, why do you "specifically avoid filtering these"? Am I going to run
into some trouble by trying this? Do we only have the option to filter
message or posts?

We deliberately don't attempt to filter non-mail items or messages that
weren't actually received (typically composed messages yet to be send or
copies of sent items).  I believe posted messages are of the Outlook
class IPM.Note, and we specifically avoid filtering these.

To change this, you'll have to be running the plug-in from source, and
change the line '''for check in "ipm.note", "ipm.anti-virus":''' (~859)
in msgstore.py.
