[Mimedefang] .eml attach not removed

Here is a copy of (part of) the mail message with the .eml attachment:

------=_NextPart_000_00A9_01C1BF74.E0841A70
Content-Type: message/rfc822;
        name="marco.eml"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="marco.eml"

Note the content-type of "message/rfc822".  By default, MIME::tools
processes this as a nested complete message, and gets confused.  It's
the wrong thing to do in this case.

You can change mimedefang.pl.in, line 1803 to read:

	$parser->extract_nested_messages(0);

which will not make it look inside message/rfc822 attachments.  This has
its own problems, however; bad attachments inside "multipart" message/rfc822
attachments will be skipped.

This is definitely a problem.  I will have to work on a solution.

Regards,

David.
