Clam will sometimes detect a virus in the raw MIME file (which it gets as
part of message_contain_virus), but not in the decoded parts.  I have no
idea why.

Anyway, as of this posting, entity_contains_virus() functions are officially
deprecated.  They may be removed in a future version of MIMEDefang.
