What does 'Mail policy violation Partial MIME Blocked' mean?

I've only found one reference to a Symantec Anti-Virus rule change that might have caused this. Here's the thread.

Leo Leo A. Notenboom has been playing with computers since he was required to take a programming class in 1976. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed. After "retiring" in 2001, Leo started Ask Leo! in 2003 as a place for answers to common computer and technical questions. More about Leo.

How do you get rid of this virus? I have run several programs and it doesn't show up unless I send it to someone and their system blocks it. I don't use Symantec.

I also want to know if there is a way to get rid of this virus? I have run several virus scan programs and no viruses show up on my computer. I am able to send plain emails with no problem, but when I send an attachment with the email, it is usually blocked or for those that can receive the email, they tell me that they are receiving 5-8 copies of the same email. Is there a way to detect and clean up my outlook express virus?
