OK, it's from POP3 retrieval through the POP3 proxy then I guess...
I just checked through the code. Looks like the whole system of quarantining for POP3 is less than ideal.
When an email scanned during POP3 retrieval is quarantined, 2 files are created in the quarantine. A .QIN (quarantine info) and a .QUO (quarantine object) file. The .QUO file in this case is just the verbatim email message. The .QIN file is used to display info about the quarantined item, such as size, and why it was quarantined (the fields showing in the quarantine window).
When you release the file from the quarantine, it simply copies the .quo file to the folder under the release folder relating to the POP3 account being checked. In this case, the file should be a .msg file containing the original message.
With items quarantined by POP3, this is as far as the process goes. I originally thought it would show back in the mailbox, but this I think turned out to be highly problematic in the past.
So to get the email, best option is if you've got a POP3 account working on that WinGate Server (e.g. using WinGate as a POP3 server), then drop the file into that folder and retrieve it with a POP3 client.
