Also, any emails that are mime/base64 encoded should be mime decoded by the AV scanner. I know mcafee has that option which we enable.

With Declude 1.82, we haven't had any trouble with decoding and blocking
viruses or banned attachments in attached .eml or .msg files.  We wouldn't
block them separately because of all of forwarded messages sent as
attachments, both by us, AOL feedback loops, and by our users. Darin.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] blocking eml and msg attachemtns

What are others thoughts on blocking eml and msg attachments?
If there is an eml or msg attachment which that has a executable or virus
attachment, will Declude properly decode it and will it be scanned for
viruses and banned attachments?
