Your mimeqp unfortunately doesn't solve F-Prot problem with Swen virus 
e-mails - the problem is probably in combination of "multipart/alternative" 
and "multipart/related" attachments that F-Prot seems not to be able to 
deal with. Splitting attachments should solve it in general.

You can test with Swen virus message downloadable from 
www.iclub.cz/xmail/_virus/swen.zip - running F-Prot on the message file or 
the one after mimeqp processing doesn't succeed in finding the virus. 
F-Prot succeeds after AttachmentSplitter processing the message.
