  Yes, Virge is broken, and as far as I know nobody is working on it.
  The problem is that I didn't expect emails to have null bytes in them, and I 
was very wrong in that assumption. If you want to fix it, this is only one of 
the known problems you'll have to work on.
  I'd suggest amavisd-new with clamd and sophie as a replacement, but anything 
else you choose will most probably work better than Virge.
  Sorry.
