Hi JONI8800
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
I am afraid that you cannot scan an email per se with WSA. However WSA automatcally scans emails for malicious links and of course as and when you detach and/or click on an attachment WSA will check it to make sure that it is not tryingt o drop anything malicious onto your system.
 
I would add, in the case of either 'very suspicious' or email from unknown sources, you are better off just deleting them...if the sender needs to get the email to you then they will no doubt resend it...where if it is malicious and has been sent by a bot it is very likely that it will not be resent to you...so if in doubt...DELETE.
