Sorry about the lack of reply-to and context - until the subscription
gets through, I'm reading from the archives and posting from a separate
box :(

Anyway, I am:
	* using md_copy_orig_msg_to_work_dir_as_mbox_file();
	* using clamdscan

Since I was running clamav-milter, I'm now trying
	md_copy_orig_msg_to_work_dir();
as it should more closely match the environment clamdscan was seeing
from clamav-milter.

The only thing in mimedefang-filter preceeding the virus scan is the
suspicious-chars-in-header check, it makes no sense for there to be
any differences in scanning... hopefully I'm set now - only time will
tell...

Where's them darn viruses when you need them :)  Anyone wanna send me
Worm.Mydoom.M or Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 or Worm.SomeFool.Gen-2 (The only
ones caught by the subsequent clamdscan and not by
mimedefang->clamdscan) ?

Thanks for the timing references - that wasn't intuitive (to me) !
