Is that not what you want to do?
No. Like I mentioned further below the quote above, I don't want to deliver the body of worms. There's no point to deliver them and will just waste disk space and the users time. That's why I wanted to differentiate between viruses that attach to payloads (think infected executable) where the rest of the message and/or attachments might still be useful, versus worms which send their own emails and as a result, the entire message is useless.
