I have just tested this feature, and it appears to be working as intended.
I mailed myself a file containing a (harmless) online1.htm.vbs file, and
the attachment in the received message was correctly named "VirusWarning.txt".

I would have to suspect the version of the MIME-tools perl module you are
using. I recommend that you use exactly the version that is posted on my
web site at
         http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/perl.shtml
as there are many "ropey" versions of that module.
