I'm not sure I followed all the steps here, but if MimeDefang
saves the attachment in the same form that a mail user agent
would if you told it to save to a file that sounds correct
to me. If ClamAV doesn't detect a virus when it scans
that file, whether saved by an MUA or MimeDefang, then
it seems like a bug in ClamAV.
