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!

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.
