The problem is that most email AV systems delete mail with viruses with no
feedback to the user. So if a user sent a legitimate mail with a virus, it
will never says that it was rejected.
So, IMO, would be useful only an option for checking file loaded from user
PC to horde, and not all download (that should be already checked by email
AV).
