Insert note into clean message option - gone?

[edwardp]

I have Avast Free installed, version 7.0.1456.  The option to insert a statement into clean inbound and outbound messages, is not on the Mail Shield/Expert Settings/Behavior tab.  Was this option removed, or is it now located elsewhere?  Note that I could not find it.

Thank you.

This really is a much depreciated option as it is so easy to fake in an email - this is why I believe the option is no longer there.

There is little worth in having it in inbound messages as if your email was infected avast would give an audible and visual alert as well as editing the email Subject line.

The only real benefit would be in outbound emails and that would be in promoting avast.

Other than that this is a much depreciated option, for some considerable time malware emails have also put a faked this email is clean message into emails. I hope you don't believe any such message and is just another reason why it is depreciated.

I did a search after I posted my message in another attempt to see if this was asked elsewhere, eventually I found it, it was; and the option appears to have been removed.  The site would not allow for deletion of a message after its posted.

Another way to check is to look at the mail header information since Avast appends to those.

Yes, the email headers still contain email scanning details; though many don't even know how to view them.
