I think David said the other day that the message has already been pulled 
apart by MIMEDefang at this point, and message_contains_virus points the 
virus scanner at the working directory instead of going file by file.  This 
saves a bit of processing because you don't need to reinvoke the virus 
scanner for each attachment.
