So Declude doesn't actually Send the SMD file to the Scanner..

Correct.

It takes the Message Body, wirtes it to a Tmp File, and then scans it?
Why not just scan the SMD file , Headers and All ?

Because very few AV programs can read a .SMD file. They make their big bucks by selling mailserver virus scanners ($1,000s), as opposed to desktop scanners ($10s), so they don't want the deskstop scanners to scan .SMD files.
