Correct. I just prefer the control and centralisation of having
messages scanned by my email client rather than an AV MIME stream
scanner. I know what harm and damage false positives can wreak. At
least when the infection is in a quarantine folder in the mailbase, I
can get to it easily and maybe analyze the routing headers to find out
where it came from so I can warn family/friends/colleagues of the
infection.

I don't understand why so many folks say "I don't want my OS/MS
telling me what to do or hiding files and functions" and yet are
perfectly happy for their AV software to do far more than that.
