No, as always, I'm not sure :)

From what I understand, the $mime_decoded_filename is unrelated to the
.eml file. As the MIME ACL runs first, before the DATA ACL, and
according to the spec, the first malware condition creates the .eml
file.

So, I'd follow the spec, even if the .eml file gets created as a side
effect of the decode condition inside the MIME ACL.
