Right you are. In that case, I have no idea why it doesn't seem to
work.

That would be good to learn. I don't see any hint in the docs that
specifying decode= in the MIME ACL will change the behavior of
malware= in the DATA ACL.

Excellent. You're the one who contributed the original clamd code to
exiscan, yes? Glad to have you checking in to this!

It is if you're not yet running 4.50...

I had checked the changelogs without noticing anything relevant, but
I hadn't downloaded 4.50's spec.txt. Now that I have, I don't see
any significant changes in the wording related to clamd and demime.
