I believe you have to force MIMEDefang to rebuild the message, so at
this point you need:

	  action_rebuild();

The philosophy behind MIMEDefang is *not* to rebuild the message unless
it was altered.  This improves efficiency and minimizes the chance
of silly mistakes.  If you make a change and want to force a rebuild,
you have to explicitly ask for it.
