i noticed that just yesterday when trolling through mimedefang-filter.
is there a reason for doing this?  that is, having the anti-virus pull
apart the entire message and then only feed in each part looking for the
infected portion if it found one in filter_begin()?

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.
