As body searches are cpu intensive and there was one more constant I've
changed it to:

S~{virus?}!AND!B~Virtu-Attachment-Warning.txt:NUL

However, I'm now wondering whether the logic function in IMail is smart
enough not to do the body search when the first subject test fails?

Some programming laguages always test all parts before calculating the end
result, others will do smart testing. In case of an OR both parts always
need to be tested bu with an AND when the first part fails there is no need
to test the second part. This would realy make a difference on a busy server
when a rule like the one above can be used.

Groetjes,
