"MailFollowURLs Yes" in clamd.conf

First, thanks for creating this Win32 version!

I noticed something that might have slipped through the cracks. I highly
recommend that the following line in the clamd.conf file:

MailFollowURLs Yes

...shouldn't this instead default to "No" when initially installed?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that this is the kind of feature which
should only be turned on if/when desired.

Also, when this line is commented out, what does this feature default to,
"Yes" or "No"?

Thanks!

Since MailFollowURLs isn't supported, yet, under Windows it doesn't
matter. I have started work on removing the dependency on Curl for
the MailFollowURLs code; once I've completed that it will be easier to
support that functionality under Windows. It's going to take some
time to complete since there are some features that I will need to
support but am yet to complete, so be patient ;-)
